You have no idea what you're talking about. In the last year or so there has been a huge surge of people getting involved after realizing that shit has to change. I have heard so many stories of how people are becoming radicalized.
People are waking up, they are doing what you say they should be, while you're sitting around, doing nothing but bringing negativity, and justifying it to yourself.
Do nothing if you want, we don't need you, but keep your defeatist attitude to yourself.
And why did they get active? Because things got bad enough it affected their life personally, circumstances provoked it, not their wisdom, or foresight, or morals or good ideas. Where were they while things were getting here? Change happens when circumstances provoked it, not when an organizer tries to explain why they should care and act. They aren't waking up, they're suffering. As soon as they are soothed and safe, they'll go right back to being part of problem. And if they're intimidated or frightened, they'll cower and hide, betraying the movement.
Sometimes, but not always. Many people were radicalized by Gaza, others were radicalized by Trump threatening to invade Greenland, others still by local stories and events. I know from my colleagues in the US that ICE in MN radicalized many people, too. Most of our new members actually weren't personally affected, unless you count seeing TikToks of atrocities as being affected.
Look, I understand where you're coming from, I've been in this fight since I was 17, and I know how it has felt like swimming against the tide for a long time, but I am categorically telling you that things are actually finally changing. You can be a part of it, or not, but please can you just stop trying to discourage others from doing something to help?
