Farbe bekennen

Meinungen sind gut, Überzeugungen wären besser.

Opinions are good, but convictions would be better.

It is ironic how in the deeply individualistic society the idea of a herd mentality prevails. It is hard to be individual in your thought process, though, easier to consume the information that is supposedly "analyzed" by someone. Only in the interest of the ruling class of course.

I get the same impression too.

You know, the topic isn't very new to my mind.
To me it appears like one circles around a few specific topics for a decade already without anything of the circumstances changing that you can find. Like a working animal that you can fool by keeping a piece of food dangling before its eyes and it goes wherever his eyes tell him that piece of food is.
It's like... no matter who is in a critical specific age, the mass that just is in it is as stupid as the previous generation. Without a thought, without a mind they don't realize how much they're like chicken in a battery farm. Even though reality already knocks as hard on their cages.
That's just also a reason why you start to "feel" somewhat forsaken, lonely and like a solitude soldier in this world. You have the impression like you're surrounded by fools and masses of fools and you can't see the end of them... Like this will be the only thing the world has to offer forever and all days.

I don't know, they might need to face reality and it may change. Or may not. I sometimes get disappointed in humanity but then I see signs that's there is still hope.

You can say, that's the reason why I still have not given up on it yet. I somehow think it can be differently.
But, as I said somewhere else, it needs a strong message to mobilize. And that's clearly a factor that's totally missing these days. Perhaps 'caused by that current aimless zeitgeist culture.
Maybe it's also a plan of the system to totally prevent this from happening as they know what it could mean for them. - If they let the far right rise up again, those you can control. Far right is capitalism too, they only want their people in important positions. If you let them have this, they'll work in your favor.
If anything else with other objectives appears on the screen, there's no guarantee you can make that happen like this too.
And that they must know too - otherwise this whole machinery couldn't keep itself up that long. If not the sheep down at the lowest end know how to think themselves, then the king which wants to remain on top must know it.
But it's hard to read those strategies and their manifestation in reality - in which appearance they happen - and also it's hard without a deep and big network to work against this to counter it.

Network, explaining to people that nationalistic crap is not their problem, the people who exploit the rest are. Need to work hard to bring the message through.

Yeah, "network" - that's an important factor you need throughout spreading the mental component of change. 'Cause a few single people, a sworn-in community, those can't fight a thousand fronts of false information, manipulation, entertainment kitsch and distraction that is represented by lots and lots over lots of representer and "soldiers".
If you got your "army" ready with good links at some of the important hubs, then it's a different story of making your trial for influence something that receives attention by the simple people at all.
One may imagine it practically like: E. g. try to break the influence of Facebook. Pretty hard job, isn't it? Even if you tried to do this, it would mean a hell lot of effort. "A hell lot of effort" would equal a good bunch of people, this couldn't be done by one person alone or only a few. Nobody has that superhuman power.
That's what I mean.
