Idk this tracks, if a ship is sinking there's a guy yelling at the occupants to board the lifeboats -- it's good to have some folk alert everyone to the accessible exit.
Problem is, while a lot of folk are aware and want their life to be self-governed, a lot aren't aware that the ship is sinking, and some are but prefer the icy Atlantic footbath over having to stand up and walk towards liberation. And some don't see anything wrong with the fact that the sinking was caused by some billinaire shooting holes in the hull. "Somebody do something", "the system is working", yadda yadda
