The issue with so many forms of #activism is that it stops with awareness-raising on the wicked problems and, with a cacophony of so many problems being projected at people in endless doomscrolls all of the time, it has a strong stifling effect. We press the 🚨 panic button, and panic ensues. We become unable to see the solutions, and how we may contribute to them. Sowing chaos is the weapon of our enemy, and painting yet more problems a known misinformation tactic.
Here's the good news:
At any one time the number of good normal everyday people having the same basic needs for simple happy life in freedom, far far outnumber the relatively minor group of truly bad actors. These people are involved in countless uplifting and positive activities every day. Our task should be to raise awareness to that and offer countless pathways for people to join up in these constructive efforts, so that every person becomes enabled to contribute their 2 cents worth to making solutions grow and prosper.
