The internet also placates people who otherwise may be very pissed off and vocal about it. Instead of revolting, they're watching Netflix, endlessly scrolling through social media, or jerking off.

As long as the attention of the masses is constantly diverted, they'll never have the focus to see how royally they're being screwed.
