I mean I wholeheartedly agree with everything you’re saying except the fault not ultimately being on the average voter.
We don’t live in the dark ages. All information is freely available to all voters. That information is power. Power that we’re choosing not to wield or wielding irresponsibly.
Now, you can argue that in places like North Korea, that isn’t true. They’re under lock and key. Although I do believe they have some concept of an outside world and what’s available in that outside world. And regardless of whether you’re under a regime that’s limiting information, you can still determine if your life sucks. Even without any outside stimulus to act as a basis of comparison.
This isn’t a regime…yet. We have access to the data. We have the power to vote. It’s our fault for not using the tools provided to us responsibly.
