I don't understand why it's a flawed take, I don't disagree with anything you have written, we pretty much are saying the same thing.
There is a difference between being "content with bread and circus" and being deliberately psychologically overwhelmed and subjected to propaganda for generations. I have no illusions that, as victims, we need to be saved. We must save ourselves. Still, I think that compassion is required. Telling people they are too stupid and impotent to stand up for themselves will just make them defensive.
If you are in Europe and just want to feel better about yourself then have at it. Just don't forget that wannabe Nazis are making a come back there too, and if powerful people in the US can get rich with this strategy you might be next.
