In the US it seems that people are so ignorant that ad budget determines election outcomes. People don’t really want progressive policies, they are content with bread and circus.
There is a difference between being “content with bread and circus” and being deliberately psychologically overwhelmed and subjected to propaganda for generations. I have no illusions that, as victims, we need to be saved. We must save ourselves. Still, I think that compassion is required. Telling people they are too stupid and impotent to stand up for themselves will just make them defensive.
If you are in Europe and just want to feel better about yourself then have at it. Just don’t forget that wannabe Nazis are making a come back there too, and if powerful people in the US can get rich with this strategy you might be next.
It’s victim blaming. In cases of domestic violence do you blame the abuser for abusing or the abused for not finding a way out? Do you congratulate the person not dealing with that situation for being smart enough to see that the abused should know better?
There is a difference between complacency and subjugation. We can agree to disagree.
If the abused insists the abuser takes them to an abandoned cabin in the woods where no one can hear them scream, twice, I will start blaming them for their situation.
The American public had the option of Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton or Kamala Harris and chose trump twice. Fucking half the world over in the process. My sympathy ended in 2024.

I don’t see much difference, they are effect and cause.

Bad analogy, but we can agree to disagree.
