This is true. Aaron Swartz convinced Lawrence Lessig of the problem begins at the top of the political system. Unfortunately, there is no solution to (peaceful or agro) reformation from within because of entrenched forces: the prostitution of power through campaign financing and lobbyist). Nonviolent but disruptive means are essential to attain such changes that cannot be had through voting or pleasant requests.

(Predominantly) Americans have to stop being so individualistic, push back against aspirational billionaire and popularity seeking, and start finding respectful discourse between different views and take deliberate, collective action. National strike perhaps.
