    Apathy/“checking out” is an intended consequence of amped-up propaganda. In Russia, it’s deployed so the “ruling elite” have even less oversight.

    To make things better, you have to help steer - saying you’re not going to participate unless everything is perfect nullifies your impact.

    And, to be sure, “burning it down” will almost certainly not result in things aligning to your moral stance - opportunistic, evil actors thrive in chaos.
