Imagine you're a decent person who benefits from an unjust system. You'd like to do better. First step is to acknowledge that you benefit from an unjust system. If you deny it, nothing will change. And your claims of decency are suspect.

Political will to change grows from overwhelming popular acknowledgment of injustice, and frankly, shame and fatigue at being a part of it. We're not there yet, at least in the US, so we're left with the education campaign.

This is why I've no patience with pundits like
@sapinker who focus on how much better it is than it used to be, or demagogues like@jordanbpeterson who nitpick about how the most privileged among us are inconvenienced by the strident demands of the downtrodden. -

It is indeed bullshit.
