@ctrlaltdog Is it really too much to ask that those trying to inspire folks to action spare a few words of encouragement for those of us who wish we could and very much want to act?

@Nerdcoresteve i'm not all about patching guilt. we should absolutely feel guilty, because if we don't, then we might just forget about everything and become too comfortable.

i've lived with guilt, while supposedly not being able to do anything. all it did was keep me focused on how i do in fact need to do something when i can.

we can never be too comfortable in a world in this current state

@Nerdcoresteve white people especially are always looking to patch their guilt, have someone tell them they're doing enough when they're not doing anything but trying to dodge the responsibility.

and believe me, a lot of people see these long posts about "hey, whatever you do is enough" and get comfortable with doing nothing

the hard truth is that nothing is ever "enough", we gotta keep doing as much as we can until things are ideal.

@Nerdcoresteve people keep trying to hijack this call for direct action as a way to quell their guilty feelings about wanting to sit around and do nothing because life didn't deal them a perfect hand. they're making it all about them when it has nothing to do with them.

guilt is a powerful tool for motivating those that insist that they can't do anything when they clearly can, the truth is that they just don't like the risks/think it's too much work.

@ctrlaltdog Who's hijacking a call to direct action?

Also, guilt can make things harder for people who are already doing all they can just to get by.
