I agree with you. There's also the issue, most people have no idea what the purpose of the educations system was from day one. (I don't necessarily endorse every opinion in this video, but post it for the facts about the school system which can be further researched if one wishes.)
So people think what they think, most often, because they have been systematically trained like Pavlov's dogs to support the govt no matter what. Not because there is any amount of actual critical thought that leads them to supporting it. If there were critical thought they would not support their own enslavement. In this case the enslavement is the notion that they will one day work for someone else! Of course, because it's disempowering!
