There’s a spectacular moment in Django Unchained where Leonardo DiCaprio (a generational plantation master) asks something like “why don’t they fight back?”

If you understand both the answer to that question and the fear underlying its asking, you understand a lot about how atrocity is sustained.

Is it the analogy of the Elephant being chained when young/still thinks chained as an adult. I saw that movie when it came out so been a while.

I can see it now even if I was disatisfied enough with the gov I don't see myself doing anything significant to fight it. Would just go with the flow. Funny I actually tried to vote for once and I couldn't because I haven't been registered recently or something... not that it mattered 20 million votes short.
