Honestly, that's shockingly low, depressingly even.

As long as people, of all ages, continue to have any faith in the status quo (or in the possibility that "reforming" or regulating it is all we need), even though it is clear (once you look) that they should have none, they will not revolt, or even support a revolt, against it.

I hate to think how much worse things are going to have to get before enough people realise the system was never there to serve them, even if it makes them feel it does sometimes (because they're a man and/or white and/or abled and/or cis and/or hetero and so on...).
