Humans in a Catch 22 logical situation

Years ago I read a book called "Catch 22" written by Joseph Heller and many of what humans are going through today could have this applied logic.

A catch-22 is a paradoxical situation in which an individual cannot or is incapable of avoiding a problem because of contradictory constraints or rules.[1] Often these situations are such that solving one part of a problem only creates another problem, which ultimately leads back to the original problem. Catch-22s often result from rules, regulations, or procedures that an individual is subject to but has no control over.
The term catch-22 was coined by Joseph Heller in his novel Catch-22. Initially this is based on the explanation of the character Doc Daneeka as to why any pilot requesting a psych evaluation hoping to be found not sane enough to fly, and thereby escape dangerous missions, would thereby demonstrate his sanity:[2] Wikkpedia

Concept
Among other things, Catch-22 is a general critique of bureaucratic operation and reasoning. Resulting from its specific use in the book, the phrase "Catch-22" is common idiomatic usage meaning "a no-win situation" or "a double bind" of any type. Within the book, "Catch-22" is a military rule, the self-contradictory circular logic that, for example, prevents anyone from avoiding combat missions. The narrator explains:
There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to; but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. Yossarian was moved very deeply by the absolute simplicity of this clause of Catch-22 and let out a respectful whistle. (p. 56, ch. 5)


What this means to me is once you decide that current world situations are insane you are branded a conspiracy nut.  But if you find that current actions by governments are totally fine you are considered sane.  It is now okay to use vast amounts of  monetary and natural resources chasing ghost terrorist, killing indiscriminately using drones, torturing humans without due process, and allowing banks Carte-Blanche in running nations into debt with a ponzi scheme using a fractional reserve system, derivatives, credit default swaps and then making the populace pay for all of this by taxing them to the point of poverty is ludicrous. But if you agree to all of these actions you are sane and considered a good citizen. 

Here are some examples:

If you are for the 2nd amendment as written, owning weapons is okay but owning a military style gun legally is now being challenged.  Why are these weapons even available in the first place? Because our military industrial complex allows it and so does our government.  Profit above all is else is how our system works and instead of going after the manufactures or the military for making such weapons we are attacking the populace.  How convenient. Folks we are in a no win situation with this type of logic.  The government allows the industries to sell alcohol, tobacco, drugs, and light weapons then puts laws in place to curtail there use and can subjugate you to prison if you do not comply with these laws. 

Wars create more damage than any of the things listed and is now used to obtain the resources of other countries on the whim of our current leaders.  How come there are no actions taken against them? We are in a Catch 22, either comply with the governments actions and be deemed sane or resist and be labeled a nut or subversive.  Now go and teach your children all the things you think are right and then hand them over to the government and have them trained to adhere to this logic as they see fit.  Those are your only options at this point.

Love the line: "you can't let crazy people decide if your crazy or not can you?" 1:28
