It doesn't happen because we are all caught up in our lives like we should be. Nobody is going to go stop the rioters when their children are safely at home and fed. Nobody with their roots down wants to cut them and risk it all for an uncertainty. It sucks, and I'm in the same boat, but maybe we need to realize that it hurts us to not exorcize our power as citizens. It makes the lives of our descendants worse when we don't stand up for them at every point. We could be the biggest pain in the side of the elites if we just organized 1/3rd of us.
