It could be easy, but people make it hard by supporting enforcing the status quo

Fixed it for you. Shaming the gaslighted masses won't stop the ones with the actual power from oppressing and otherwise abusing the rest of society.

It's not like any of the people in charge ever got a majority of a 100% participation vote. They've been systematically standing in the way of majority rule for centuries and pretending that everyone knows that for a fact and likes it just keeps us squabbling between ourselves while the root causes for most of the world's biggest problems only worsen.

The rich and powerful are supported by the status quo, and they'll resist any attempt to change it. Because they're rich and powerful, if they think it's necessary they'll resist that change with violence.

That's why things only tend to change when people are really, really "uncomfortable". If you're comfortable, then the injury and death you risk by attempting to change things isn't worth it. If people are already dying from starvation or disease, then it becomes worth it to risk death by challenging the status quo.

Nothing will change until people are hungry.
