Because of the ease of access to information these days, people can learn things quite quickly. Everybody now is well aware of how corrupt their governments are, so they want to find alternatives, naturally. Decentralization is the most reasonable choice.

Governments are corrupt, and we know they are corrupt. This is why we are in the "post-truth" era of politics. If we know they lie, and they know that we know they lie, then why bother? Just keep lying and everything will continue. There's no direct accountability anyway so they've got nothing to lose.
