Crises don’t pass, they are either resolved or they get worse. Your passivity is not a measure of the labor of those who have resolved previous crises. You are free to stick your head back in the sand, but do not blame us when we can no longer protect you.

Thinking society is collapsing isnt solving problems. Most of these problems aren’t the average persons to solve

We have the liberties we have because average people in the past knew otherwise. Union workers, revolutionaries, mass political movements, terrorists, soldiers, and civil servants. If the system steers society towards collapse, we all have to change the system by the least violent means available, which is sometimes a violent civil war.

Yes but its not steering towards collapse.

Then you’ve totally missed the point of freedom and democracy.
Collectively, our leaders are very much “average” people. Some are super smart, others are ignorant and stupid. Some are great leaders, others are petty and vindictive. Some are well-educated, some are Majorie Taylor Greene.
And let’s be clear - society isn’t collapsing. Freedom and prosperity are collapsing.

I’m not saying not vote. I assumed the average person is voting for people to solve those problems. Then its those people who are focused on solving those problems. Average people focus on their own problems.
