    People understand the problems, particularly the ones that impact them but, most of the time, that understanding is extremely shallow. Knowledge dissemination alone would absolutely have been enough to prevent a second Trump Presidency, and actually a first Biden presidency as well. People make bad choices because they don’t understand them.

    I think the same goes for activism as well. I think a lot more people would get involved if they understood the stakes and the effectiveness of organized engagement.

    Anyways, this is a humor sub, so I feel a little bad for going all serious, but I’m really bugged by pseudo-zen aloof disengagement rhetoric. (From the above, not from you.)
