With the advent of dictator Donald Trump and his dangerously unstable, violent, egomaniacal personality, the resistance from civic society has not risen to the deadly challenge either quantitatively or qualitatively.
To assume that humans en masse are weak is quite foolish, but I suspect their intent is more prodding for people to ‘do something’.
We’re aware of the issue most of us didn’t cause. Just as other countries are currently dealing with their own artificially placed authoritarians (à la epstein and bannon).

Eventually there will come a time for most of us where a normal life cannot exist, but it’s a slow burn, not an explosion.
We need to put this into perspective and compare it to how Hitler turned an entire country into dumbly complacent followers & murderers & enablers. We look back at that and ask, “Why didn’t somebody stop him? Why was everybody following his orders?”
Materialism and spiritualism are polar opposities with the latter being the one that one incentivises someone to act in the face of death.
For the former, armies could be carpet bombing their house into the dirt and if they still feel more attached to what little wealth he has, he may very well fight for that wealth on the side of tyrants.

“Why didn’t Feudal Peasants rise up against theie Feudal Lords? Were they stupid?”
