The treatment of western politics as a spectator sport is so deeply engrained in the culture that it's really hard to even get people to recognize they're doing it.
And it's ironic because I think it's become that way because the political system seems so unresponsive to actual efforts to change the material world, so people need to find a different reason to engage with it.
