What gets me is not just the lack of understanding of how the economy works here, which frankly isn’t even that complicated, it’s that people lash out whenever you start pointing out that the system serves the oligarchs who are exploiting them.
There is an undercurrent of aggressive ignorance in western societies. I get the impression that it’s really hard for people to accept that the whole promise of democracy is a lie and that they don’t have any real agency within the system.
