I think what's changed is that the ability of a few outlets to control the narrative is diminished. The interstate always cut through poor communities. The bridges were always designed to keep buses from carrying people out of the cities to the suburbs. Certain demographics were always over-represented among the poor, and the policies responsible were always there. (US examples, but systems keep some people down for the benefit of others everywhere.)
But now you hear about it. The world you planned for was always an illusion. It never existed outside a narrow slice of time in post-WW2 peace and prosperity, and only for the thin slice of humanity that got to enjoy it. Now the hard part is: what do you do about it now that you know you were fed pleasing lies?
