    the largest grouping is the ignorant masses who just don’t care as long as they get a bit of money, some food, access to shelter and an internet connection and some entertainment, they really don’t care what the world turns into.

    The thing about that third group is that they only get a bit of money, some food, access to shelter and an internet connection and some entertainment, and so they can’t afford to care about what the world turns into.

And so the distraction of ethno-class warfare is an easy siren song to follow.
