they will never see it this way because they struggle to make connections of what's happening now to what will be happening in the future. right now they are suffering financially and making poverty wages for their labor. it's a dog eat dog world out there and these people become vicious and learn to play the game of capitalism, and whatever the repercussions are down the line, well, that's a problem for the future, they gotta focus on the now. so even if they are an inevitable target of the system, they aren't right now, so.. who cares?
Conservatives: "fuck the libs!"
Other conservatives: "yeah!"
Conservatives: "cool. Do you validate parking?"
Other conservatives: "detain this liberal!"

Many are surrounded by a completely different set of information. We're all in our own caves with shadows dancing on the wall.
