It was intentional. Our only significant power is collectively and the only expression of power the elites respond to are threats. So we are forced to group up and threaten horrific things because that's the only way the people have ever gained anything from the powerful. If we aren't a threat, we are ignored. If we are a threat in any way that works, they've made it a crime.
