There's an element of powerlessness, though. I think if you look at Occupy Wall Street, it defines the problem exactly: a motivated, mobilized mass that can't suggest an easy solution but isn't quite mad enough to call for violent revolution.

Packer's The Great Unwinding explained it pretty well to me. A lot of people were really angry, had legitimate beefs, but had no action items to make things better so it dissipated in a cloud of bitter disillusionment.
