    To assume that humans en masse are weak is quite foolish, but I suspect their intent is more prodding for people to ‘do something’.

    We’re aware of the issue most of us didn’t cause. Just as other countries are currently dealing with their own artificially placed authoritarians (à la epstein and bannon).

    To attempt change in the public eye immediately puts you in danger and as such is unwise. Furthermore, many people are not made for such things.

    Eventually there will come a time for most of us where a normal life cannot exist, but it’s a slow burn, not an explosion.

      We need to put this into perspective and compare it to how Hitler turned an entire country into dumbly complacent followers & murderers & enablers. We look back at that and ask, “Why didn’t somebody stop him? Why was everybody following his orders?”
