Typical victim blaming bullshit. In an inherently corrupt system like that of Gotham or IRL New York or the US in general, 90%+ of the people don’t really have any meaningful control over what the elite does with society.
To blame the oppressed rather than rebel against the oppressors is some useful idiot shit.
People can always rise up and overthrow their leaders. There are countless examples of this happening across the globe and time, the problem is too many are comfortable with their safety in the status quo.

Sure… Because overthrowing a government that doesn’t care about civilian casualties and is backed by the most bloated and over-funded military and police in the history of the world is TOTALLY doable! 🙄
Especially when the nominal political opposition cares more about norms and procedures than actually resisting fascism.
There are countless examples
None of them with an elite anywhere near as insulated from public pressure as this one, though.
the problem is too many the only ones with the power to fight it are comfortable with their safety in the status quo.
I’m not licking boots, I’m just pushing back against the narrative that the ruling elite bears none of the blame because the population at large is in control and even if we AREN’T, we can just overthrow them on a whim if we feel like it.
I’m 100% for overthrowing the oppressive kakistocracy. I’m just not in favor of victim blaming or under any illusions about how difficult it’s going to be.
