Just a point about this part. That sentence is a nearly universal symptom of helplessness.
Those people are not denying the problem, will not fight you, but are tired of hearing about problems they can't do anything about. That is bad if the helplessness is false (propaganda does make people believe they can't do anything while they can), and you'll get a much better response by fighting the helplessness itself than in trying to push your original message.
