I'd honestly love to see someone provide some detailed analysis of the how the modern west got to be like this. We're jerked around a LOT and do literally nothing about it. How was society so successfully defanged? I have lots of ideas and can point to lots of individual reasons sure, but I'd love to see a comprehensive analysis, because it has been almost complete and total annihilation of any sort of real resistance.
I don't feel like fleshing this out, but violence (with the exception of state-sanctioned violence or superheroes) is seen as reactionary, wrong, and for dumb people 100% of the time. When do you see an average person using righteous violence in popular media? They have to be smarter or sneakier or funnier or something, but stronger/more violent is seen as wrong. But we love watching historical texts of violence (Game of Thrones, etc).
widespread rentiership is a relatively new development, between the New Deal and Reagan it was pretty easy for the average working class American to buy their own home

Pop culture has no problem glorifying righteous violence as long as it is used against "criminals" or "terrorists".
when will we realize that the terrorists are the ones doing righteous violence

Game of thrones is not a historical text.
I couldn't stop myself, it was this or have a stroke
Yes it is. I watched it in the past. Therefore it is history.
Yeah but how did we get like this. How was society successfully manipulated to be so damn docile
