I used to be like you, and ultimately I still am - but people seem to need this oppression if we’re ever going to make government work for us again.
There is a very dangerous trend of voter apathy, mis/disinformation, and a near complete lack of understanding on the functions of government and democracy.
Until people are actually willing to “work together” (decide we don’t need an orphan crushing machine - not actually work hand in hand with everyone else) we kind of deserve the governments we have.
It’s plain as day that powerful interests are getting absolutely everything they want, while successfully convincing the general population they shouldn’t have job security, health care, social safety nets, education, and an environment that isn’t entirely poisoned.
So many people are willingly voting against their interests to hurt someone less well off. Others simply don’t care to pay attention, vote, or refuse to apply logic to information if it suits their bias even though it hurts them.
There are huge amounts of bad actors (media in general completely ignoring the obvious rise of facisim and ringing the dinner bell instead of the alarm) doing everything they can to obfuscate the truth and play on people’s bias/hate/fear are direct attacks on democracy.
It feels like we’re literally experiencing how Hitler rose to power. People are aware of things like project 2025, J6, Christo facisim, bought and paid for supreme Court, outright lies and disinformation campaigns from most media sources, and billionaires dictating to governments.
The general population mostly shrugs, does a finger wag, a head shake, and call it a day.
The far right is organizing globally to allocate funds and think tanks, lobbyists, controlling media, having people of influence throughout government, military, and police. The response? everyone still treats them as disconnected fringe weirdos doing their thing, not something worth dedicating any time to.
You hear Trump supporters saying J6 was an inside ANTIFA FBI job of fake actors - who are completely innocent American heros that are political prisoners and need to be pardoned?
Such cognative dissonance shouldn’t be able to exist in nearly half the population, but does due to trusted sources experiencing 0 consequences for pushing obvious lies - so it must be true.
When push comes to shove (shove comes to fist?) maybe the Lazy left will actually show up to resist their oppression, hopefully they unite before it’s too late.
