To me, this is why the US is where it is today, and other countries heading the same way.

"This is the way it is, it's out of my control, and I just want to live my life."

This is how apathy destroys a nation. Life needs to be uncomfortable for everyone that feels this way so that they participate in voting when they would normally abstain. And in those few wondrous cases, convince them to change their perspective and recognize oppression, be it political or capitalistic. Or for countries that have moved so far as Russia, perhaps revolt.
