I’ve been doing those actions, too. Since well before I could vote.
Those don’t seem to work either.
Again, that's part and parcel of being one person out of literal millions. No matter how hard you, personally, fight, the chances of you, personally, making the difference is... well, one out of millions. And if those millions are working against you, well...
The cruelty of it is only by rallying millions of people, almost all of whom will be aware of how infinitesimal their contribution is, to give it their all is popular change effected. It's how wars are won, how governments are overthrown. And until that last, victorious moment, it's fucking soul-crushing.
What a stupid species.
I’ll take my pillar in the desert, please.
