Unfortunately, their responses to your words of wisdom betray their surrender to the system, and honestly, their laziness - all while saying they are awake. If they were truly awake and understood, they could not help but take action - especially where it involves their children. If not, they are just virtue signaling in the echo chamber of their choosing so they can feel somewhat better about their inaction. They go along to get along and wear blinders so they don't have to confront reality. There are enough bread and circus to allow them to continue in their delusion. They say to themselves, someone else will fix this problem so I don't have to do anything. They rah rah about the "plan" and all the other tropes expressed by those that they find some measure of commonality with. But, do they actually put their money where their mouth is, or do they just know the right things to say to give the impression they are indeed part of what they claim to embody? In the end there are only a handful of those that truly "get it" and put what they have learned into practice. But, those few that do embody what they expose are enough to change the world. Don't believe that, read your Bible. You are not alone fren.
