In some of the music communities I'm in the content creators are already telling their userbase to go follow them on threads. They're all talking about some kind of beef between Elon and Mark and the possibility of a boxing match... Mark was right to call the people he's leaching off of fucking idiots.

I'll go a step more general. People can't be inconvenienced. Climate change,politics,etc...

If it slightly inconveniences people you'll need a good leader to push it

All many people care about is bread and circuses. Unless their sustenance and distractions are taken away they are complacent.

Veganism is the perfect example

Nah, many of us non-vegans don't see animals as having a right to life. I know I don't.

People join massive protest all around the world for these things. They are willing to spend a day walking around and yelling even if it is an inconvenience.

It is lack of organizing and having a trust that if we just vote for right politician it will be solved. For decades of elections, nothing changed.

We need to organize ourselves as the people, like they do in some countries. Stop the traffic, organize in shifts to stay on road blocking all gas powered trucks. You need to stop businesses from operating normally to give the system some reason to change, instead of just ignoring us and promising us that next election it will be better.

Same for soical media, do the internet equivalent of blockades, DDOS them like anonymous did. They can't arrest us all. And organize to block police cars when they try to make an example of the few.
