@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.
