I suspect that the 'apathy' thing might be more complex than appears on the surface. For example, there might be a certain amount of mental self-protection going on there, even though that probably sounds paradoxical in terms of taking vital action against a future surveillance state.

I understand, but now I am the one protecting my mental health. I won't be a proxy anymore. Instead I'll take out my popcorn and watch the collapse.

Yeah kind of me too. Sick of warning everyone who won't listen.
