The problem is most people are spectators in their own country, not citizens. And they do have the luxury of apathy. It may very well be true they consider having an opinion on civil matters too strenuous, meaning it would take them away from the daily entertainment, the need to get attention, rather than paying attention. There's nothing to be done about it really. It's a kind of corruption and a cultural rot. George Carlin called these people dumbass motherfuckers. And I think that's diplomatic. Bullshit jobs, bullshit life, they are there to earn money only to spend it all to enrich someone else. It's so terrible they can't even be bothered to have an opinion about how civil society is organized, because really what they're living is something of a nightmare. They are so ignorant, they have anti-imagination. You give them an idea by historical reference, and it's instant annihilation, and time for more bonbons. The capacity to have a conversation just doesn't exist. And there were all kinds of ignorant kids, grew up in podunk poor towns, but still had an opinion about the civil and the uncivil. They were certainly political. And they volunteered to fight fascism and quite a lot of them died for it. Now, fascism is just name calling. It's not a real thing that exists, or could exist. It's just politics, which is also unimportant and mostly make believe. It's something that his site considers anti-intellectual. So when people intentionally refuse to think and wilfully run from fundamental truth, the situation is pretty dire. Apolitical is indistinguishable from apathy. Perhaps some part of it's cognitive dissonance, that at least suggests there's an awareness of a conflict that matters enough to ignore because it's more comfortable.
