What do you think this sort of attitude leads to?


A magical utopia because everyone clearly truly believes in their exact same political beliefs but are temporarily deceived or intimidated by the status quo.

> when the economic circumstances determine.

And how do you reckon that'll come about when society is more divided than ever and can't come to any sort of conclusions about how to fix the economic circumstances?

> You can't force society to care about itself.

"Society" isn't some abstract entity. It is made of humans. No, I can't "force" anyone to care about these things, but I can try to convince them of it.

It's more productive than this doomer narrative, at least.
