They aren't lead poisoned and they aren't brainwashed, they instinctively know they're living off the oppression of others and they're fine with it. https://redsails.org/masses-elites-and-rebels/
It doesn't take intuition to be aware that there are rich countries and poor countries, and that they are in a rich country. The lack of political understanding plus the convenient absolution of any guilty role in the matter is the reason they are willing to embrace liberal explanations of the world. Even though the explanation is always obviously ghoulish (you don't have to be informed to see the problem with "there aren't enough resources to both feed all these people and build all these missiles and megayachts, so we should reduce the amount of people"), they still find it preferable to giving up their treats.
