Forgive the whole WW2 angle but this explains the normie behaviour:
First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist
Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew
Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me
I've seen this successfully translated to relate to communist regimes especially the Soviet Union and Cambodia, the persecution of White farmers in South Africa, targeting of Christians in Middle East etc
The point is, a LOT of people don't see the boulder slowly gain speed towards them till it hits their toes. They ignore the warning signs until THEY are now affected.
Real life example, early 2020 I saw the warning signs of lockdowns and not just gathered supplies for myself and family but also warned friends and colleagues at the time to do the same. Some thought I was overreacting till barely a month later, proven completely right.
