>only new legislation and regulations can get us out of here.
From the same goverments that want more state surveillance and even buy the private profile data from data brokers?
Only a new ...revolution would get us out of here...

As alluded to, it doesn't have to :) The French are currently on their fifth iteration of "the government", and we're bound to get a new iteration hopefully soon! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Fifth_Republic
When half of American lives paycheck to paycheck they care about putting food in table instead of petty politics or data collections.
Which is to say the vast majority have plenty of time to think about politics. They don't but that is because they choose to do other things, not because they lack time. (even those who do take the time often only think about it superficially)
People have been getting the opposite of what they explicitly vote for, for ages...
Just some recent examples:
In Europe an example is the popular sentiment against further unckecked immigration for example, and people voting politicians promising against that, and getting more.
Or how in the US how people voted someone promising no new wars, talking against foreign interventionist policy and so on, and see what they got.
