Do you think the problem is over-saturation? You highlight consuming new media, is there just too much thrown at us daily for us to care any longer than a few hours? Let's look at the BLM movement. There were protests all over the USA during covid shutdowns because of the murder of George Floyd. Some protests lasted weeks. In Portland, people are still protesting every night. When other people of colour have been killed by cops, protests didn't last that long and didn't result in 20 million people protesting like this one did. What changed? What circumstances allowed for these protests to be so impactful and result in real changes in some cities?
