Capitalism's 'bread and circus' might be the most addictive drug of all, they close their minds off to anything that goes against the narratives because the western audience would rather not think about it and enjoy the fruits of the exploitation. Blissful ignorance and all that
Except they've been steadily scaling back both the bread and the circuses for decades now and westerners are generally as willfully ignorant as ever
