A slave doesn't have to make decisions. A slave doesn't have to take responsibility.
Besides, the life of a house slave can be pretty comfortable, at least, relative to a field slave. Didn't Borrell say something about Europe as a "garden" and the rest of the world as a jungle?
But when the class war comes to the point where you have the tough choice of possibly risking your career, getting beaten or blinded by militarized police in a peaceful protest, or having your bank account frozen just because you took part in a trucking protest, or attempt vocally resisting the fascist Elites in charge - then it takes some real courage to rebel.
Hard part is to remove the state of denial one is in that Western society is reaching that point of not only state censorship on all levels, and the ability to quietly take anyone in and imprison them on trumped up charges of whatever, "eco terrorism" or "disinformation", - and then you are faced with that hard historical choice of whether to bend the knee and your head, or rebel and face severe consequences.
What media scholars can take from this whole mess is that television is still the most influential media -- by far. And newspapers keep being relevant. For all the wrong reasons.
Europeans *like* being slaves.

Many people think what they are told to think.

You are being facetious?
