Every answer provided by the status quo, reinforces the status quo

Expecting the status quo to do anything other than maintain the status quo makes little sense.
What is the status quo, in a societal context? Its the way society currently functions - the institutions, laws, norms, power structures and accepted practices that most take for granted.
Who protects the status quo? Those who benefit from the status quo.
I could rewrite this aphorism to say - Every answer provided by those the status quo benefits, reinforces their benefits.
