The entire system is a trap. He is just using your desire for improvement from the problems they created in the first place, to acquire more power.

Take the example of a mafia: you have to pay the mafia $1000 every month or otherwise they will rapt you and probably rape your daughter. One day another mafia comes around the corner and says: ey, I can promise you the same, but I will charge you only $700, otherwise I will rape your daughter equally, but ey!! it's $300 cheaper!!

The trap is the system. Supporting anyone in the system is falling into a trap.
