But here's the thing: a lot of folks don't care. Because they know they're going to get the fuzzy end of the lollipop no matter what happens. When a social system glibly makes and then cynically breaks as many promises to as many people as this one has, crushing apathy, and a desire to get a little of your own back, however possible, becomes widespread. Oppression does not have to be "real" to be perceived, and to incite those who feel oppressed to react in reflex rebellious, uncooperative ways. It is foolish and futile to expect people who fall in this category to share Mr Garland's concerns.
