Sure, there are lots of victims of the system. I don't think Jack is one of them, he had a seat at the table. Maybe he had little to no influence, but he certainly had a chance to blow the whistle at least.

But it doesn't change the fact that, for people who only now are figuring out the score, each and every one of them would have turned you or me over to the authorities from wrong-think at any time if they thought it would earn them a free order of fries.

That said, the majority of people will just fall in line and submit to whatever authority is there. Until they align under the correct powers, they are our enemies at worst and merely sleeper agents for evil at best.
