Free will is not much the issue. Most people are dumb, slightly cruel, selfish, cowardly, intolerant, smug, anti-intellectual, fanatical, lazy, collective, emotional, lie-loving and mediocre. Their low moral standards and lives of needless suffering mostly are not their choice.
The groups they associate in and spends their lives seeking to gain hard-earned social capital belong to Lera. Evil rules where group living keeps the great majority in chains.
If the majority was ever informed, and knew viable substitutes, there would be no stopping them. To be informed and to be awake is to be free; then and only then is latent free will aroused and operative. Then and only then may the majority choose, and be responsible for their elections. Most will choose well, and do well. It is in the cards.
