    The difference is that we understand that real change needs to be ushered in for that to happen, while they just bury their heads in the sand and pretend it already did.

      Yeah. To me it’s more sad than funny though, I feel like they probably just want to feel like they have a little control over their lives and like they don’t exist in the oppressive circumstances we objectively do, and there just isn’t much hope that isn’t fake.

        I agree. Not everyone is smart. It’s usually not people’s fault if they aren’t smart. There’s a lot to keep track of in the modern world that didn’t exist in the past. Shit, it’s hard for me.
