None your society is just as complacent as the greedy sociopathic class.
I think you mean complicit. "Complacent" doesn't make very much sense in that context.
It's also a hollow edgy take, the likes of which would be expected from a shut-in teenager who doesn't actually interact with people. Most Americans are exploited to the point of exhaustion, which is a little more complicated than just "they're complicit", and some Americans are putting in quite a lot of effort to improve the shithole country we're from.
Have you ever had a warehouse job, or anywhere else where you can actually speak with the exploited masses? If so, did you speak to them? Have you ever spend time in real-world organizing spaces? Not talking about just going to a protest, I mean getting involved with the people in your community who you're accusing of being complicit. (PSL doesn't count.)
