But, in my opinion, many Americans(including well meaning patriots) are in too love with their 'stuff' - be it social media, sports, cars, Netflix, shopping experiences, eating out and just general all about me-ness. WhenI try to explain that the way forward is small, local businesses as much as possible, their eyes get blurred and they stop listening. They don't see the connection that you mention, or refuse to see it because they aren't willing to give up any of their creature comforts.
Spot on...and that is exactly where we lose. Americans gave into getting a jab full of toxic mystery venom for a DONUT. To think for a moment that they would not sell out their good friend or neighbor to the Gestapo so their cable would get turned back on is a fallacy.
Don't forget the peer pressure brought to bear in states like Oregon where the governor said she would not lift pandemic restrictions until we hit a certain percent of the eligible population vaccinated. I got glared at by my neighbor who, in all other respects, hates government, but loves baseball games. So yeah, people really love their sports, and their cable, and so on.
Free French fries can be correlated with excess mortality, but only if you look hard enough in the right place.
"There is no evidence of . . ."
"The Science has changed . . ."
"You're a hateful redneck bigot conservative . . ."
"I am happy to die in my sin . . ."
The most horrifying thing to me was the realization that those pulling the strings could actually make people check in on FaceBoot for "likes" at the "train station" to "the woke Auschwitz."
If only they could understand how many of those creature comforts are under threat by those very people they aren't willing to take on. I just read this morning that the next front they plan to attack us on is water scarcity because apparently "we aren't understanding the severity of climate change and must be made to understand it another way."
To the corporations and their puppet politicians, ignorance and apathy are worth more than all the slaves in China.

Yeah...and Eastern Oregon was giving the governor fits because they were not complying. Haha...!!
This attitude exhibited a lack of ability to do a simple word problem involving R-naught.
You're a "hateful bigoted ignorant red-necked conservative pro-Putin Nazi Trumpster" if you can do a simple word problem.
Because "I cannot deal with my own degeneracy and ignorance" without hating you.

They will MAKE those understand who have not received the love of the Truth.
