We’re all powerless alone

That's the "funny" thing about it. ALONE we are powerless. The really really hard part is getting all of us together.

Media in the past that wasn't purely propaganda for the sake of manipulating the population would have achieved this simply by the reporting done. Now all they do is give cover to the assholes committing the atrocities across the world and we have to fight with each other just to convince people what is actually happening and why it's bad...

Divide and conquer works and it's why we never seem to make progress. :(

Together we are still powerless because of the economic guardrails and class culture

Nah dawg, that’s like our one strength and even instinct. See Bregman’s Humankind, for example!
