There are a lot of private prisons in my state and a lot of cities and towns couldn't survive if they had to pay actual wages instead of contracting out literal slave labor. The largest egg producer in the Southwest is located here and, until avian flu wiped out their flocks, was heavy into using prison labor. It's fucking horrible and barbaric.
Key to "The Mysteries": People are surrounded by "satan" (competition, blame, fighting) and confused by the "anti-christ" (manipulation), so they don't know when they are acting like a "beast" (at the whim of bodily desires). Now, "Babylon has fallen" (systemic corruption leading to collapse).
Prefer "The Dharma"?: Then, it is the "snake" (ill-will), "rooster" (ignorance), and "pig" (greed) at the center of "the wheel of samsara" (cyclic recurrence of chaos and death). Same truths, different expressions. Do you know what you are doing and why?...Moreover, do you know who you are? And who everyone else is on the most fundamental level?
Want a modern "psychosocial" analysis?: "Psychopathy" (impulsive-thrill seeking), "Machiavellianism" (manipulative self-interest), and "Narcissism" (egotistical attention-seeking) are rampant. to the point where many social institutions reflect those characteristics (e.g.: "corporate psychopaths" + "accuontability sinks"/"bureaucracy" = "structural violence"/"banality of evil").

Yes! Someone gets it. If one doesn't know their past and is unaware in their present, their future will be bleak.

These symbols point to something which transcends all individual characteristics that seem to divide people, such as sex, gender, orientation, race, social class, and so on ad infinitum - including personoal "political" persuasions: https://news.emory.edu/stories/2021/09/esc_left_wing_authoritarians_psychology/campus.html
