Fixed it for you. Shaming the gaslighted masses won't stop the ones with the actual power from oppressing and otherwise abusing the rest of society.
It's not like any of the people in charge ever got a majority of a 100% participation vote. They've been systematically standing in the way of majority rule for centuries and pretending that everyone knows that for a fact and likes it just keeps us squabbling between ourselves while the root causes for most of the world's biggest problems only worsen.
The masses are the only ones who can be shamed into acting, not the oppressors. The issue stems from them not executing their power.
