I've got to say tho that when a person has been trained from the youngest age to not only compete, but over-compete & scorn those they feel they have bested in life, the chances of that person trusting others enough to resist the divisive bait pumped out by MSM are virtually nil.
The foundation of our understanding of others is comparing what they might do that we ourselves could think of doing in their situation. Truthfully then, if we are bastards, even if we have a fully justified reasoning for being the way we are, how can we expect anything but the same from others? Simply, we cannot. Not unless we take a leap of faith.
How many of us look to a higher goal when we are frightened? Very few. Instead we fall back on our core beliefs.
In the USA therefore, & elsewhere to a lesser extent, it will be everyone doing their damnedest to avoid being "a loser". Even tho, as you say, the only way to prevail is to stop playing the game.
Well, I think there are paradoxes. People only follow religious leaders for the reasons you mention, but imo, the major religions are part of the problem.
When you are truely at peace with yourself and commited to your cause people take notice,

Don't ask me, I really know nothing. Alas, I did help - a little - with the lyrics to this song back in 2000. I put the songs from the failed project up a while ago so my online musician friends could get a laugh out of them, so you can listen to it if you choose. It sounds like dog poo, you are forewarned. Pay no attention to the pics in the "video", they are just there to fill up space.
Hear The Call
Synthetic Insanity
Machinations and greed
Severance from nature
The raping of the earth and all living things
Change fate
Transcend
Listen closely for the voice within
HEAR THE CALL
LOVE IS ALL
Reaching harmony is not just a dream
It prevails on the wings of nature
And transforms the spirit of true human beings
HEAR THE CALL
LOVE IS ALL
Search your heart
Reveal
Love will heal
Releases your thoughts
LET YOUR SPIRIT SOAR
It is time to be born again once more
