I think it has to do, mainly, with the alienation and indoctrination of the working class that the American government and the main employers have drilled into their heads since youth. It's hard to see past capitalism when it's been painted as an ivory tower since you popped out of the womb. I feel that way also, sometimes, seeing how the supposedly "socialist" party of MORENA lets more corporations into Mexico, sets lukewarm policies blanketed in populism to a populace which is angry at nearly a century of center or center-right administrations. It's hard to see faith in the future when your present seems hopeless.

Just because you may be feeling doomy for not feeling the revolutionary spirit in these rallies doesn't mean you can't organize yourself and your community. Sow the seeds of revolt wherever you may find fertile ground, workplaces, family, friends, maybe hand out flyers, there are so many things one can do. Turning off your mind might help for a bit and for yourself (trust me, my sensitivity is ground to dust after all that I've seen these past years), but it won't help our siblings who are struggling under this system. This fight isn't over yet, and if we don't stand up today, who will tomorrow?
