The abyss is just staring back.
I've tried to get these groups going, too, but folks only want to play the status quo game because it is all they know.
Skool has no interest in teaching them what they need to know to free themselves.
Add in a disdain for book reading, and here we are, surrounded by folks too ignorant to even know they are enslaved, let alone that they need to get out.

Comfortable slaves never rebel.™
