    All these events happened because people hit their breaking point.

    And all resulted in no meaningful change or even worse circumstances.

    I don’t consider myself a doomer, but I can also read a history book and know full well that while this may be satisfying in the short term, in a few weeks or months everything will go back to the shitty normal.

    Our only power now is local.

      The US Civil Rights movement and the end of Apartheid in South Africa would seem to be pretty unambiguous examples in the above improving circumstances.

      The world is shit. Nothing will can immediately achieve will make it not shit. But we can make it less shit, step by step. We have. And, huffing my hopium, we will continue to do so.
