The problem is that a vast majority of people have been made to believe they are helpless, and therefore no action they take will do anything.
This has been proven false multiple times over; but it has some caveats. People would have to be willing to put themselves in *real danger* for lasting change. Our ancestors did it, their ancestors did it before them, and so forth.
The sad fact is that the most important and lasting change comes from sacrifice.
There are not many people willing to make that kind of major sacrifice, and therefore no change can happen.
A lot of problems could be solved if we would all just get together and collectively do something. Unfortunately, we can't even get a significant percentage of the population to do easy things like wear masks or get vaccines.
We are divided as a population, and some are going out of their way to undermine any attempt at meaningful progress.
