It’s no excuse, but our population has unwittingly been under extreme psychological warfare for decades. The propaganda is strong.
There is hope though. Even the normiest of normies in my everyday life are starting to understand.

They're doing to their own people what they're doing to other nations. I hope it doesn't end with understanding but also in taking action.
People need to understand what’s actually happening before taking action. Otherwise you blame the wrong culprit and end up in a never ending cycle (see two-tiered system where every four years 45% of the population blames all of their life struggles on the current admin instead of the real perpetrators, central bankers).
I agree that the issues of the military industrial complex, big pharma, unelected agencies, etc are important, and very real, but they’re all downstream from central banking. They wouldn’t get funded long term without the ability to create money.
We can say this is the “stupid American” trope, and to a certain extent it is, but I think it’s fair to say it’s not just America doing this. Practically every country has their “CIA”. Five eyes, mossad, you name it. Most governments are activity trying to undermine their citizens, threats, and even allies in some cases to retain their own power.
Yeahhh. There is nothing novel about all of this at all. People are behaving the same way and applying the same conquest ideas and goals but the means and ways change over time.
It's not even about the stupid American anymore. We all have our stupid. Being the most powerful nation in the world, it's easier to put a target to observe what the empire is doing than it's smaller allies.
