So far the only person who asked that question was Falco. Didn't people tell you, ignorance is a sin? I think if you are raised in a hostile nation and are indroctrinated that your entire race is evil and that it is a miracle that your benevolent oppressors even let you live, you'll find it hard to protest - especially since you will be punished with a fate worse than death if you're caught. Most of these people seem to be content with living their life without bringing attention to themselves by protesting the official doctrine, which is basically the best thing they can do in order to survive.

There are exceptions, namely the Warrior Cadets, who are openly hostile to the Eldians of Paradis. However, they are victims to. They are child-soldiers, brainwashed, and their entire family depends on their success. You can call it ignorant but I find it hard to expect a child of about 10 years to fully understand that their nation is basically manipulating them.

I don't think anybody is denying that Marley and the Marleyan government are evil. However, about 90% of the people Eren killed were NOT Marleyans but Eldian ghetto civilians. Did they believe in Marley's indoctrination? Maybe, most likely yes. However, I fail to see how this gives them any share of the blame here. They are the victims of severe oppression, daily racism and will be punished with a fate worse than death if they do not cooperate 100 percent. How are they to blame in any way? Most of them are not even involved with the things happening at Liberio at that moment, they are simply enjoying the festival. Nonetheless, Eren did not even hesitate to wipe out all of them in order to kill a very small amount of military leaders (who were absolutely incompetent anyway).

Eren had his reasons, yes, but he still ruthlessly murdered hundreds of people just to buy some time.
