I agree with what you’ve said here, and I’m saying that the people are not “just” going to do what you’ve suggested. Because the people are not well informed, and this is on purpose. They will eventually figure it out, when the undeniable signs of collapse are around them, but it will be too late at that point. This is a pattern that repeats throughout history.

You’re suggesting that it’s the fault of the public for failing to overcome intensive propaganda, disinformation, and divide-and-conquer campaigns, a failing educational system, and normal human failings like normalcy bias. I don’t know what to tell you. Fine, blame the people, it’s not going to change anything.
