I agree (as I’m already here), but unfortunately I think most “normies” don’t really care

People will not care about something until it exceeds a tolerance. It's not productive to explain away behaviors with a label. What's of more importance is why people are tolerant of things that are not in their best interest? How do we change that?

Thanks, those are great questions and a better way of framing it. What are your answers to them?

They are tolerant of things harmful to them because they have been indoctrinated to devalue themselves beneath the capitalistic company. However, this makes people assets to the highest bidder. Start a whistleblower rewards organization that pays people for revealing corporate exploits. The organization is filled with passionate lawyers and talented media personalities who will counter the indoctrination by exposing any and every corp any time they degrade people. Corps install security cameras and all sorts of monitoring metrics with which they can use as puppet strings to manipulate their employees. It's time for the employees to spy back and get rewarded.
