Revolutions or toppling of the powers that be never come from a populace that still has bread and circuses.

What you just wrote is why humans are reactive.

The long term right thing to do is to rise up and push for change through any means necessary. Unfortunately in the short term that is gong to suck ass. And will suck even more if its quashed. So their for humanity maintains the lane it's in cuz it's easy and some what comfortable, at the very least reality right now is known. The unknown is scary.
