Why are those that express outrage at the B.S. going on in the USA called 'whiners'?

i think thats why things have gotten so bad, and are getting worse. apathy and utter ignorance of the populace. ignorance of their rights (especially of the constitution, most cannot recite even the bill of rights off the top of their heads) ignorance of the way the government is supposed to be, ignorance of just how wrong it is and willful ignorance of the way they are being exploited, and that capitalism has run amok. the outraged are NOT whiners, we are disgusted with the way things are and aghast at the indifference of our fellow americans.
