Fatalism is not what I mean. Forces beyond our control, by our I mean the average middle class citizenry. If one belongs to a part of the ruling oligarchy, one affects change only by following the oligarchy.
Mexico is a stark example of this syndrome, and the US is simply far more sophisticated but we work upon the same principles. It's the fools who believe the average bloke has a say who are fooling themselves.
Things are predetermined as the fatalist says. They are beyond the average man's control. That's different as nothing is determined, just beyond control.
