I managed to get one of my siblings on the path “to get it” aka introducing barebones Marxist fundamentals, and they had like a serious period of spiraling and sudden obsession with politics (they used to be a “apolitical”/“we can’t change anything” type) because the world they thought they lived in was not what they were indoctrinated in to be.

There is a hesitation and wanting to live in the comfort of imagined meritocracy that many “typical” people possess.
