The most organized action would be a rogue actor. Those mostly only exist on the side that’s heavy into personal rights and its less evident on the side that cares about everyone’s rights.
If you care about others… Then you care about others. Makes a person less likely to go rogue or violent. Been like this since what? The 60’s?
It’s when enough people are directly affected that they hit critical mass. Social media (like this) is a drug that tells us we’re doing something when almost always… We aren’t. We’re commiserating, but not planning, organizing turnout, or anything else that would directly help the downtrodden.

I agree, however individuals action is and never will be enough. There is a critical mass of the population needed.
If a pipeline gets blown up by a rogue actor, the oil industry shrugs and rebuilds 100 more miles of pipeline. If a yacht gets arsoned, the billionaire gets insurance to pay for it and/or gets another 3 yachts. And in each case the rogue actor is pretty much guaranteed to be thrown in jail.
The rich will always just carry on in the face of one off rogue actors.

If your family is starving to death, you’re gonna take up that grievance with the French government, especially if all your neighbors are having the same issues. Your attachment to your children and spouse becomes a reason to revolt because loved ones are in immediate danger of starvation.
As of right now, that’s not happening. People are nutritionally starved, but not enough people are starving starving to do something about it.

Agreed.
