The people who refuse to see what is going on in the world today generally do not lack the intelligence to see reality; they lack the courage. They are afraid of social rejection. They are afraid of seeing the true nature of the things they have supported & of just how trapped they really are.

The govt is the tool that the politically connected use to enslave everyone else by force & fraud & authoritarian controls. Pharma corps don't have an army of thugs to lock everyone in their homes, or to steal subsidies for themselves. Without govt enforcers, their power over people is almost zero. The left seems to (in some ways) hate the conditions associated with being enslaved, but they do not want the govt to be weakened or eliminated because they dream of enslaving "the rich" to serve them. They don't want to eliminate domination & subjugation, they just imagine themselves in the role of imposing such things.

Accurate

A leaderless & unelected bureaucracy is currently trying to start another war (which may lead to WW3) at everyone else's expense.
