Can’t rage against a machine if you’ve willingly become part of it

You lost me. I don't work for or have payed money to ticket master, if that's what you mean. Or maybe you mean generally, like going to work, concerts and so on.. Do you suggest everybody rolls over and dies? Are you calling for general strike, a revolution? Maybe elaborate.. I susspected 400+$ is a lie and did a quick search. Found this: https://www.alternativenation.net/rage-against-the-machine-unload-on-expensive-ticket-prices/ . It's about their reunion tour and that 90% of all tickets were $125. 10% of all tickets were charity tickets. It says if you payed 400$ then it was from a scalper. But you never attended their concert, did you?
