The Matrix

 In the movie `The Matrix, the Morpheous Character says this:

"The Matrix is a system, Neo, and that system is our enemy. When you are inside, you look around,  what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters, the very minds of the people we are  trying to save. But until we do, these people are part of that system and that makes them our  enemies. You have to understand most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many are  so...hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it."

Exactly.
