It’s easier to organize a small group of people around a shared common interest than it is to organize everyone else around opposing that interest. Everyone else still has their own individual interests but they don’t all align.
That’s one reason. I think there are many more. For one thing, we no longer live in communities. Our sense of belonging, solidarity, and social responsibility is largely gone. We’re now living in a sort of every man for himself type of situation. There are still some groups but they’re political or business based rather than community based.
