(84,711 posts)I guess I just see some activism differently. Because MSM and the times we live in has powerful people who don't want to call attention to the "Actions of the People" by reporting on the actions of citizens so as to demoralize them and make them give up...because what they do isn't important because it hasn't made ANY CHANGE.
I think the change is come from below...building on what started in the 60's but it won't be visible change at first...it will be incremental and not even show up as much of the best of the late 50's Civil Rights Movement and the 60's Movements didn't seem to make change until it DID.
So...we just have a different view about whether activism is important or it's time to try something new in the way of activism that's more targeted in some way we haven't yet envisioned.
