I think people are so bombarded with all the bad shit happening in the world and the constant stress of competing with everyone just to survive that they purposefully disengage and retreat into comfy bubbles of entertainment. So when reality eventually demands some sort of action, they rely on the media to tell them the easiest thing they can do to get back to the comfort zone as fast as possible.
