I know - absolutely know - that this is going to be an unpopular opinion, but I believe it deserves to be said:

> People know that the system only caters to the whims of billionaires and tells the rest of us to eat shit.

Things will not change until enough of the people affected are willing to play equally dirty, and rescind any remnants of their morals. Quite some time ago, the French developed a way of keeping the worst excesses of their elite in check. It worked, although it certainly wasn't perfect or pretty. And then Robespierre came along and ruined it for everybody. [0]

We already live in a world ruled by lack of morals. Individuals hanging on to theirs will not make a difference. Sadly.
