But be a hero. You can be and be successful because there are no high stakes, in the "greater" scheme of things.

There should be more outrage among people in general. More awareness of antisocial oligarchs and their poster boys. But no us and them. People should feel united, feel like they can make a difference, that the world is run not just for a profit. That's why, for all those reasons, the EU is highly problematic. It makes people here care less, not more, powerless, and others feel threatened. It's used as an excuse. It's all show. Europe isn't united in reality, but just the façade creates opportunity to justify keeping people distracted and fearful. They think sacrifices are necessary. Fear can make people into monsters.
