May it rise to the point where the magats can no longer deny their mistake.
I admire your optimism. I reckon they'll take it with them to their graves, and the only hope is that it'll happen sooner rather than later.
From what I've been reading, they're so delusional they'd rather die than have their out-group have anything nice. They will never learn and they will never change. Not in bulk.
Individuals can be changed through exhausting and thankless work of their peers. In-group pressure is all that works.
I work in a field that is populated mostly by magats and had the everyday operational costs rise by 30-40% due to fuel pricing, but their income was barely affected.
They will not stand down. They still think this is 5D chess. They will suffer, even if it means taking out second mortgages, defaulting on their credit cards or borrowing money from relatives without intentions of paying them back. They do not see the hypocrisy they are living.
