Many people are still infected by negative beliefs that pull them down and limit what they can actually do. Things like idolizing freedom, democracy, civil rights, anti-racism, anti-sexism, etc and thinking that they are anything other than moral cudgels meant to push people into complacent slavery.
They think that isolating themselves and putting away their weapons (or desire to meaningfully use those weapons) means they are principled instead of brainwashed into being weak and ineffective.
One large problem is everything reinforcing their propaganda. The education system, entertainment, mainstream media, etc. Everybody knows that some of it is a total sham, but very few understand the extent of just how much is designed to be pure mental poison.
And so they get stuck fighting small nearly meaningless battles uphill. Instead of fighting for actual freedom they are stuck fighting for paper freedom, which is all but pointless when that paper holds no actual value besides satisfying their complacency.
