What were they doing during eventful periods?
Man, look at some news. The vast majority just want to get on with their daily lives. Some are keeping their heads down while neighbors are snatched and disappeared, having rights ignored or abrogated, the ship slowly sinking beneath them while they carry on. If it’s really eventful, they’re starving, watching loved ones die, their homes and whatever financial security they had destroyed, forced to flee their neighborhoods, their lives forever hollowed out and traumatized.
If you’re wondering, you’re not paying attention at all.
