Not sure what the average person is supposed to do from where they live. I go to protests and try to contribute to my local community, while giving money to orgs that are better positioned to do stuff, but I hate this narrative of "nobody is doing anything". I'm not going to pick up a gun and start deciding on targets, and fuck anyone who does generic calls to violence.
At the end of the day, people are just trying to live their lives, and they don't have a lot of individual levers to pull to make an impact. It requires organization and belief that good things can still happen, which are sorely lacking in left leaning spaces.
Analysis paralysis mostly.
