The shrug must come first. It’s the fruits of the shrug which will push the leftist even further, to the tipping point for the rest of us. When the producers stop producing and consumers stop consuming, the leftist will become more desperate and more totalitarian. We can’t fix this mess until enough people realize the situation and collectively decide to do what is necessary.
“We cant fix this mess until enough people realize the situation and collectively decide to do what is necessary”
As long as everybody realizes that, even under the best of circumstances, ‘enough’ will never be ‘a lot’.
