I get where you’re coming from, truly. I do also wish people were more politically engaged. But I just can’t go that far toward victim blaming, especially when so many forces work against people doing exactly what you suggested they do.

Just look at how Occupy Wall Street was broken up and twisted into irrelevancy by our media. It was a nonpartisan movement that corporate influence successfully split off into the two warring sides so that critical mass could never be achieved.

Any issue that is perfectly partisan never gets resolved, and the oligarchs know exactly how to turn most issues in that direction.

My prediction is that the data center and AI backlash could work exactly the same way if resistance grows too strong.

Anyway, perhaps I’m too far off-topic now.
