I hear you. FWIW I don't subscribe to the "helpless lemming" idea either. To me the "evil" I see in the average burgerlander (I'm from the US) is an apathetic one. Not ignorant, just uncaring. I talked about this in an a post I made about messaging:

It's hard to imagine a revolution in the belly of this beast. This place is depressing in a way that is hard to explain to folks who don't live here. What I can say is that seeing Teslas and $70k pickup trucks zoom past homeless tents day in and day out, and no one around me really cares... it sucks.
