    Have you tried touching grass? The problem is not powerful people but the apathy of the masses.

    The powerful people support that apathy but the masses could change everything at any moment.

        Without masses there would be no power.

        The masses give the power, they are ultimately responsible. It’s the same as with traffic.

          The masses don’t spontaneously self-organize for the purpose of giving one person all their power. That requires external coordination by the entity receiving that power.

          Without that entity driving them, the masses don’t yield their power. That entity is ultimately responsible for what it has convinced the masses to do.
