It's the problem of "political deactivation" it's in part a cultural issue, in part a byproduct of capitalism.

9-5 jobs kill a lot of political activism. Inculcation into cultural traumas that make the system seem unchangeable by "the little people"... These are the ingredients for "political deactivation".

People want to stay an alert and informed member of society, but that doesn't necessarily result in activism or change. In fact sometimes it makes people less likely to try to change things.

Welcome to 1916 Russia, when all non-Imperialists(not only Bolsheviks) were saying, that 6-day work week prevents prevents people from becoming citizens. Next step would be mandatory education.
