We can repeat our case until we’re blue in the face. If knowing about us was enough, they’d become socialists. But they are so immured in their helplessness that they do indeed dread the obligation to do anything other than give to charities and vote for leaders to take on the burden.
If reason was enough, we should get nearly 100% positive response from our election leaflets. But we’ll get practically zero.
A more apt illustration:
Well no, but that attitude also makes them turn away in dread from the very responsibility they need to take for making socialism. They just don’t want to hear it.
Btw, its a myth that ostriches do that.
And here’s a look on the bright side too: Suddenly, children’s books are appearing in Latin!
All the Harry Potters, Alice in Wonderland are now joining the list with Pooh and Asterix.

In France, Belgium and Switzerland, supermarket foyers have racks of French-language history-themed comic books. Here too, in the 1970s, these were appearing in English, as well as toys. In the Anglophone world all these history-themed comics and toys (excepting the Asterix books) disappeared at a stroke when the stupid Star Wars movie came out, and were replaced with fantasy.Our rulers and their media must take us for fools.

In fact, no one will remark it. Just because we are educated about history and society. But we are a minority.You must be aware of the sheer ignorance of history today among British and Americans.
US test and war preparations with China too.

Philippines and China stand-off.
Proxy wars before this never involved one of the puppet-masters’ countries itself being targeted: not the Korean war nor the Vietnamese war etc. Now, this is different.
