I understand your points but simply disagree that telling people that whatever we’re doing or not doing right now is working on any level. I firmly believe because of evidence around me that people broadly are more prone to inaction if they think this is just some passing political entertainment that will “sort itself out.” Our neo-liberal masses are really looking for validation for downplaying current events and there is no effective political opposition taking place, at least not on the scale needed to actually make changes or divert our course. It’s worse than you and many others know.
Most people are out-of-touch with politics and get ALL their news from social media, which is now tuned specifically to reinforce your existing beliefs and desires, so if you’re just another working American 300k in debt and working 60 hours a week to pay your bills and not paying attention to every political story, it’s really easy to tune out your obligations to take ANY kind of action to preserve your way of life. We need to let people know broadly that whatever narratives they’re reading, it’s not even remotely the whole story.
