Time to wake up the lions. 
 Free Rider Thinking - stealing this phrase. Very accurate. I'm good, safe, still better than Russia, making money, got my vacation..I don't worry...and STOP THE PARANOIA. I hate this people. 
 There are so many of them 
 It's a battle of ideas, and people seem to have forgot what ideas are and how valuable the best ideas are. 
 They defer all thinking to the highest authority 
 Well put.
What can reignite the people's interest in ideas? 
 Money 😆 and attention they seek. Nothing else triggers masses. 
 Loss of trust in the sincerity of authorities and their alignment. Control of speech is paramount to stemming erosion of that trust capital. 
 Very well said. 
 Yes. 
 Rugpulls shall continue until morale improves.
