Jovially -- you simultaneously believe that they're a victim of a psy-op *and* that their attitude is self formed?

;) And you wanted to go ape shit on him... For falling for a psy-op?

My friend, morale is very very low. There is no vigor to fight for a better tomorrow in many people's hearts. Many are occupied with the problems of today. It doesn't take a psy-op to reach this level of hopelessness.

Be sick of it all you want, it doesn't change their minds. Perhaps you will find something more persuasive.
