    I would argue that most people are almost completely oblivious to the world around them. This lady has been fed pro Russian propaganda her whole life so of course the real world is shocking. How could everything she was taught be wrong?

      Instead of whining to the camera, they could just do a quick google search, with all the same questions, instead of blaming the whole world.

      Instead, we got this “why are people so mean to russians, we are the best” overdramatic nonsense, because her daddy’s money couldn’t buy her something in the real world.

      These are, of course, assumptions.

      This, I agree. A moment of revelation is a shock. People will even become violent to defend their version of reality.

      The fight scene in They Live is a good example. He wants him to put the glasses on to see reality, the other man simply refuses, things get violent.

      And exactly, how could everything he know be wrong without the glasses? This drives his behavior.
