It’s not that they need to be woken up, in my opinion. I think most people are aware that we’re riddled with corruption, that their input is negligible in their government, and there are events in play that are far above them. I think they need to be convinced that a failure to act will lead to results that are far worse than the upheaval that action will bring. Secondarily, what action should be taken, and by whom, needs to be articulated. “Vote in your local elections” seems to be the most popular solution presented this far.
