That’s by design. It’s the same reason you aren’t required to take Statistics in high school. If people knew the actual odds of winning the lottery they wouldn’t play. Since the poorest Americans and typically only high school graduates play the lottery religiously it make sense.
I don’t think it’s just not knowing their rights and such. It also needs to get worse before it gets better. Ever maybe change in government across history wasn’t done with protests or signing petitions. It was done with a physical revolution. Until we got that point it will be the same shit.
The 68’s movement, MLK, German unification come to mind. What they, however, had in common was that violence was on the table or at least a plausible development. Those in power just figured that gunning down citizens wouldn’t be in their best long term interest.
