    I think people care, we’re just trained into patterns of learned helplessness and isolation over generations.

    There were large swathes of people who resisted during the 19th and 20th centuries, they were systematically murdered en masse. I bet it has happened many times over the centuries.

    Sometimes I wonder if we’ve bred ourselves into either loyal obedience or dispassionate compliance because everyone else was always killed by the first group while being ignored by the second.

    Or maybe it’s just me 🤷‍♂️

      It’s because most people just want to live their lives in peace, even if they’re under a boot. That has always been true.
