Reality does not instantly “red pill” people - but to say it never does or cannot is simply disingenuous – the privations which gave birth to NS German stands as just one evident counterpoint to your argument. What’s needed is a combination of things becoming unbearably uncomfortable, AND the spark provided by the disenfranchised portions of the populations being gathered around an elite (or segment of the elites), who seek to use the catastrophe that’s been brought about as a means to climb the ladder of chaos and bring about their own visions. Though I must agree with you insofar as one without the other will simply fail miserably.

An interesting history lesson and a sober framing of the situation.
