This is also implying that common everyday people actually have control or can influence the situation.

While a wealthy few in the world are the ones that can actually drive change for the better but refuse to because it would affect their wealth and power.

90% of the population wants to do something

10% of the population owns everything

The 10% who have all the control don't mind watching the world burn as long as they keep their mansion.

90% of the population can't do anything because they don't have the wealth to influence anything

100% of the world is completely fine with this situation.

90% of the population can't do anything because they're not organized. Collectively, we have power.
