Whatever. I'm thoroughly convinced people on our side are more interested in arguing amongst ourselves than anything. I initially said we need more energy, and your instincts are telling you to correct me.
Are you bloody serious? They're correcting you because you are saying shit that's demonstrably untrue AND I might add doing it to be a doom monkey. You know what it's actually killing momentum, ppl who can't stop saying nobody is doing anything while actively ignoring all the ppl doing something.
It will make you feel so much better. And ignore anyone who tells you whichever thing you actually DO is pointless. They aren’t doing shit, guaranteed.

If we all do something, big or small, as regularly as possible, we change the whole calculus of this mess. We build momentum. People like to be on winning teams.
I remind myself of the reality that the vast majority of people will not in fact be in the streets. I just wish more of them were engaged in other constructive actions.
Yes...i try to believe they're making calls or writing emails and also know that i exist in a very politically curated world...a lot of the folks i hold close are engaged..i'm working on the others...daily.
I made a video recently talking about how Allah used a mere wispy spider web to hide the Prophet Muhammed SWT from the Quraysh. We can be like that web, each of us a strand that becomes stronger when connected together. Weave what you are able, play your part.

Organize, or find others near you that will organize and join them
Not just to protest, but to act
We don't make demands
We invite offers
The regime will soon bring the hammer down on those who dissent
But there's still time. You can get ahead
It's your future. Fight for it

There were also 4 million people at the Women's March in 2017. There's been nothing on that scale yet.
I wonder why we're always losing, jfc.
