Taking a side requires information and opportunity.

Without a reliable understanding of the conflict, you end up a QAnon mark, siding with the oppressors because you've been propagandized into believing they're the oppressed.

Without meaningful opportunity, you're just posting memes into the void to relieve your own anxiety.

Who can you trust? Who can you aid? Who can you collaborate with effectively? If you can't answer these questions, what do you think you're accomplishing?
