This seems like the "comforting fantasy" to me. Or a terrible analogy.

In not an appropriate analogy. We are not just the people in the car, we are the whole neighborhood.

Even if the people in the car cannot prevent a crash by braking, they can still prevent further damage to people and property by braking as much as possible while within their means.

The comforting fantasy is the idea that we can throw up our hands and say "We lost."

Losing is easy. It demands nothing from us. Losing has no call to action. If we've lost, then there's no fight left to be fought.

The reality is that the fight is always worth fighting. And that sucks, because it means we never get to give up. We never get to say "It's over", and stop caring. Caring is a lot harder.
