"It's only natural" seems to be the go to.

The people in my personal life, though, are mostly just EXTREMELY wary of just about any information at all.

They are more comfortable putting shit down to some conspiracy, rather than looking at how awful some people are outright.

I don't think they want to admit, or submit to the hopelessness of the situation, especially economically. So they rather keep themselves busy with petty bs.
