“You can’t wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.”

I like it! We keep wondering when Congress is going to wake up and implement reforms to all the corruption -- psst, they aren't asleep!

When evils are sufferable you can't wake a Good Person who is pretending to be asleep ! Wake Up, True Patriots of Liberty, around the world !

... and in our early country's youthful ignorance we called the Indian natives ignorant !? Relate to the "weak eyes" quote below !

The occupying statist theocracy infesting this land's puppeteers are pretending to sleep while advancing their cult's version of equality and other tyrannous despotism. The pretenders will not awaken to the awful situation that the sons and daughters of liberty find themselves (awakening would be contrary to the cult's dogmas). The pretenders have lulled a free conscientiousness into a dream like phantasm where ignorance and social slavery are bliss.
