I can tell you from personal experience that if they are the types that sneer / turn their noses up at the word politics to the point they never engage with it, they probably don't understand why or how it is that they are getting fucked over it (politics). The longer you put it off the more painful it is to face it down. I feel like living in that unreality for long enough creates a scenario where having your world shattered is just too painful, and people get to a point where they just won't let it happen because facing it down would also mean basically the undoing of their entire life experience. It almost seems like breaking a worker down as much as our system does is like "housebreaking" a dog or "breaking" a horse. It may not be an absolute rule, but it sort of seems like the breaking cannot be reversed in most cases. I think this is why we get, for example, all those karens posing as black khive women on twitter, 'ruthkanda forever' girl, and those idiots that got the concentration camp-style tattoos of the hex code for the elizabeth warren campaign's shit ass green color on their wrists. idk

I think social media is fine as long as you mainly just follow all the fully socialist and communist accounts you can find (I would not recommend facebook though)

I would rather live with open eyes than under the veil where the helplessness and unknowing basically had me ready to "permanently exit. "
