Yes but fighting back doesn't feel real. Fighting back requires acknowledging the scope of the problem, and is really hard to do without seeing all the other problems connected to it. Its scary. Its a deep-ass rabbit hole, and most people are both conditioned and positioned to not want to fuck with that.
