Two that you mention are:

form of delusional, you're deluded (by nonawareness) into thinking that it

- "uncaring" which is just another form of evil.

Still down to a nice either or.

What if I take the stance that to a certain degree people must want to free
themselves enough to make it happen, or trying to provide them with freedom

Take it or leave it. Remember, I don't really CARE what anyone else thinks. I
don't get validation from other people saying they approve.

You might perhaps be better served by caring more.  If you care enough to
sheppard people into the light, you will have a larger voting block to help
make the world the way you want it to be.
