It's tough, it really is. You get fed the same bullshit by your parents if they get bought into it, and by the time you realize all the bullshit you're fed in school/work/life it's often too late to make real changes in your life.
On the flipside, for the truly free, the peons are a lot easier to control. Lenin and Castro couldn't have done what they done without ignorance on their side. Perhaps the most important reason for mass ignorance is maintaining social order. But it's an opt-in/opt-out model; most people don't realize that.
