I think that mentally/emotionally most are struggling to cope...
  1. People have tried fighting back, but each time, the Establishment play for time. (Eg Brexit).
  2. We know the West is in full on recession, which is hidden by money printing and dodgy gov stats, but there are no mainstream actors with the guts to say so which means many dint hear this.
  3. And the collapse of the public realm means day to day living is much harder, as basically nothing works properly.
  4. Add on lockdowns, inflation, access to healthcare, media propaganda and so on; life is actually significantly harder, and people are not coping...so it looks like most settle for scraps...
I can see this happening a lot in Europe these days. And 99% don't find the power to break out of this vicious circle
