My experience is that everyone who's not close to any of these impacts is apathetic or treating events like they're reality TV, and even light attempts at convincing that there's more going on and that we might be in a historic and bad situation is met with hostility as if you just told someone's small kid that Santa isn't real.

At best they care about the financial parts of the news.

When those who own and control the means of discourse are donors to, and so in collusion with the problem, don't expect to hear opposition.

If they don't shout to defend you, they're happy about what happened to you (perhaps that's because you made lots of enemies)

There's two options, either they are fools to believe it is a good thing (and they should not be in security) or they are cowards because they think the same fate will befall them.
