"Get loud, get political."A major problem with this is that advanced surveillance technology and the increased sharing and cooperation between the various spy agencies and ever more militarized police force is being used to target, spy on, and repress political activists and protestors.
If you seriously, but peacefully and non-violently, try to oppose the surveillance state aparatus and are deemed to be a threat to the huge sums of money they are getting to fight the good fight or a threat to the power they're ammassing, you can expect to be spied upon and harassed at the bare minimum. The more of a threat they consider you to be, the more you're likely to find yourself in jail or worse.
Of course, this has been par for the course for political activists ever since Spartacus led a slave rebellion, and it will not stop the minority truly dedicated and idealistic activists. But the tools of state surveillance and repression have advaced so much that it's much harder for ordinary people to participate in the political process beyond voting for two mostly the same parties, writing emails, or making phone calls without suffering serious consequences.
This is scaring a lot of people off from even trying to make a difference. In many ways, many of us already are living in a dystopia.
That said, trying to raise the political consciousness, technological literacy, and privacy awarenss of the average individual is still a very worthwhile and usually safe thing to do (depending on how radical and confrontational your tactics are), and we'd all be much better off if more people did this instead of throwing up their hands and giving up or pretending it's not happening.
