You assume, without any argument, that my message is wrong. Obviously none of those zero arguments convince me.
> You are encouraging people to believe they are powerless and stop doing anything themselves
I'm not! I'm saying people should spend their limited energy on improving things they can actually change. This is usually things in your family, workplace, neighborhood. The average person can make a real difference for people that way.
Trying to personally change the global climate will achieve nothing, while the people around you miss the help you could have given.
BTW, in hindsight, the Arab Spring was a disaster that ended with millions dead, and no real improvements, aside from maybe Tunisia.
I did make an argument and don't assume anything. The history books are rife with the power of collective action. Cryptocurrency is collective action, as is all of FOSS. Women's rights, minority rights, every election, etc. etc. Even the reactionary 'give away your power' message is collective action (ironically, against collective action).
