Here in Arg the statist ideas are deeply rooted even in people who don't care or don't think about politics. Many just assume "the state shoud do X,Y and Z" media included.

So people will fight against the privatization of anything even thoug we have a gigantic deficit and the state don't have nough money for the most basic services (under the state logic) like retirement systems.

Is like if we were an man with a crappy job that is not willing to sell his car even though he can't aford to have it, and pays the bills with the money printer and debt. And people just don't want to understand it or propose expropiating the wealth of "the rich"
