The problem is that you believe that.
So by "when stuff starts happening" I guess you actually mean "never" because after all, "there is nothing you can do other than complain".
you have literally like three options.
Vote, that's coming up in 4 years. Yell, which is protesting. And the third secret option is killing people in the hopes that something happens.
So far all we're doing is protesting in a small isolated room where only the nerds are. The next best option is protesting publicly, in well known, open spaces. Which we are also doing, to be fair. The best option we have is voting. Which we already fucked up on.
look, when i stop having food to eat, maybe we'll talk about it differently, i'm open to negotiation, unlike most people on the left, amusingly. But for right now, idk what you want me to do about this.
