The media, effectively controlled by only a few entities, channels the public discussion in a manner that those elites want. We don't really talk about the things that matter. We fight petty fights over our chairs on the Titanic.
Most people don't even think about this, and are in denial.
Those who do think about it join the group in denial and just escape into sports and entertainment. People feel: "Life has become unmanageable, so I am just going to carve out what brief happiness I can."
Is that what we want our children and children's children to ask about? "What were you doing when it went bad?" they will ask us. "What did you do to try to make it better or fight the good fight?" Do we really want to have to say to them..."Nothing"?
