Now I'm thinking about it and I can't figure out why the Yeerks went through the trouble of setting up The Sharing as a deception. If they just came out and said, "Wanna be part of the alien Illuminati? You lose control of your life, but we'll pay for your health care, you get to overthrow the rich people, be part of this huge patriotic army, and there's a small chance you'll get to vicariously be a rich jackass, and you don't have to work hard ever again..." ....like seriously, countless people would agree to that in a hot minute. This would not be a small number. Especially if they were depressed or anxious or addicted to something.
