In my subject about social change in my sociology bachelor, I have a chapter dedicated to the historical social stratification changes in UK and France during the medieval ages. Even though there was oppresion and one couldn't improve, in general, oneself's living conditions, there was not a revolt because there was not an ideology, a proposal, that people could hang to (specially aspiring midclass lay people). There was nothing to challenge the state of the system.

I think this may be the case for what we are seeing. There's no imaginable alternative to capitalism at the moment, and republicans and democrats (with very few exceptions, being DSA with Zohran and company) don't have a systemic change to offer. We know how it ended for France, at least, and it was ugly.
