There are certain people who do not like responsibility. Definitely!
But I guess there are people who are somehow misguided.
Also I think hearing a propaganda all they long for a long time can make you believe a lot of things.
Also these things are well-crafted from the other side as well.
As a plus, you can think, that what is the worst that can happen, and you wrongly assume something, and then you face the consequences.
Usually these things work as boiling a frog. You amp up the temperature slowly, so the frog does not notice it.
