>What does it mean for a society in which its people should be scared shitless of a beyond nightmarish metaphysical monster called Capital that controls every facet of our lives right to our decision of what we choose to wear and eat, which is way more than enough to make them lose sleep every night and rebel against it, but don't?
it means that everything is working Just Fine. why cause any problems? let Vault-Tec handle it. i'm sure they know what's going on.

also, it's because they have already decided that most of us are ghouls. personally i struggle to find a flaw in that analysis. i am a ghoul, and the tree that grows out of my head is proof of it. i have a feeling that it is a terminal condition. but it's also why i'm not expecting Vault-Tec to come up with anything more than a powerful one-two punch of soma and fire, awarded on case-by-case basis, and with the rules subject to permanent ad hoc revision, whenever required.

we're not in control of this thing.
