They don't understand and don't know because they aren't thinking and searching. That's my whole point. A magical fairy didn't just fly into my room and drop knowledge into my head. I had to use reason and philosophy to figure it out. We will keep headed down an ever darker political path until people take responsibility instead of evading it by blaming politicians and central banks they enable by not putting work into understanding the world they live in. Ignorance isn't a valid excuse for not using one's mind to discover the truth. Otherwise, we would still be living in caves.
