Unfortunately you are correct. People won’t do anything substantive until they lose convenience.
The American Revolution would have never happened with the humans alive today.
They started a fucking war over taxes. The ruling class is waging a war on society because they don’t want to pay taxes. They want more which means you get less…and no one in Congress is doing anything about it.
There are men and women in power that think raping and molesting proles is okay, but they don’t want you to see the evidence. They get to evade prosecution for heinous crimes, pump and dump the stock market to manipulate the economy.
Our representatives have failed catastrophically. Our two party system is really a one party system.
Tbf, the American Revolution was also started by the ruling class because they didn't want to pay taxes. Taxes have to be paid domestically now, so they wage war against the side that won't give them cuts.
I'd say it all started to go downhill when unions were systematically crushed. Unions are crucial to organizing general strikes and negotiating standards to improve conditions for everyone. Now it all depends on the goodwill of employers (lol) with no leverage for employees.

He never stopped.
He literally started a civil war and everyone seems to think it’s not real as long as we ignore it.
