You’re talking about how citizens without power individually can wield it collectively to take the power from the few that have it today to protect themselves . That requires a lot of discomfort- from mild organizing and going to meetings, to (at the extreme) giving your life to that cause. The most people en masse seem to be willing to do to discomfort themselves is to change their profile background.
But maybe mankind is really to dumb and weak to get through civilization filters, be it external or self made.
