Is one of those ideas connected to the other one? Historically, being one of the most powerful people in the world is not even a minor barrier to most people ignoring the things you do, crazy or otherwise.

Well yes, historically most people ignored most things, but it's 2025 now.

We can ignore everything that doesn't affect the way we act. Sure, you need to be informed enough to go "okay, I'm going to join La Résistance" when necessary, but other than that, you only need to focus on things in your sphere.

And to add to that, I'm hoping that people here in my country and elsewhere can learn lessons needed to avoid falling into the same traps.

I would hope that a hundred thousand or so people might be encouraged to act differently at the voting booth next time around...

Historically there was no journalism and everybody ignored everything that was happening. Or do you mean in more modern history?
