I live here- can confirm vast majority have a terrible education and don't care enough about things like history or statistics of poverty. Tbh, a ton being in poverty probably doesn't help them think about these things and there's just this constant strain trying to live even in the middle class.
Which is something that I can never understand: it is obvious neither of us decided how much taxes we pay, how high salaries are, how much margin the companies are allowed to have etc. So yeah, our choices do have a role in where we are now, but we are far from only players in the game, so to speak. And this line of thought does not require any profound knowledge
Many people are too psychologically fragile to process the thought that we live in an evil world run by evil people, and, like, I almost want to say fair enough, it is kind of a lot, but then they start scapegoating poor and marginalized people for everything that goes wrong and my patience runs out quick
Excuse me have you missed the 75 million people who believe, with cult like devotion, in a "deep state?"
I get what youre saying but like most people have no trouble thinking the world is evil and run by evil people. They just think the evil people are "globalists" (read: da joos) because they are brainwashed Muppets.
There is no contradiction, really. Things are bad because are actively making it so, and if not for them, all would have been just and fair, as all things should be. The reality of "just and fair are just dreams made up by humans" is still beyond them
