... they are tho??? Your question says more about you and the people you surround yourself with than it does about "people" in general.
If you're asking why you don't hear about it in the news or online, it's because corporations, billionaires, and the government own mass media and control the narrative on there. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised, not because we'd rather have it streamed or printed in magazines, but because revolution is inherently antithetical to the purpose of The Spectacle
Liberate yourself from the need to have mass media give you permission to revolt.
Shut up nerd! Go back to your hole.
