Someone pointed out a thing recently, about how the Environmental Movement or whatever the term was, the cause about improving the world was essentially suborned in the past decade.
That it used to be about fighting specific evils and fixing specific problems, and people would make actual efforts and drives and we'd see progress or feel losses, but we'd have a measurable thing.
And then somewhere in the past ten years, even more in the past five, it's been turned into this vaguely political thing. Where the concern is vague and goals are as well, where progress isn't even a measurable thing...
and in return, there's no actual progress made, because there's nothing that can specifically be DONE, just raising an attitude of dissatisfaction.
And your position, as an 'activist' is not to effect change, but to yell and BE UPSET and be ANGRY. Someone else STOLE things from you, in a vague and not specific way, and you DESERVE BETTER, in also a vague and not specific way, and because of that you can continue doing the exact same things you've always done but you've been a good Activist.
And with that shift also came a very visible hate for the older section of the community. With all communities, really. The people who work to change things and make things BETTER suddenly became the enemy because ???? reasons?
And I'm not saying it's a conspiracy by bad people to work AGAINST things that need to be done, but it very much seems in no uncertain terms that the people pushing for this don't want the new generation to know how to make anything better, just to know how to be mad and follow orders. And to hate anyone who might know how to do anything that makes a difference.
