But also some people just can’t be arsed to stick their neck out when they’re barely keeping their own shit together amidst things that fucking DO also affect them, Tiffany, but they’re silently trying to keep food on tables and kids in whatever half-assed school curricula still exists in the hope that when the heroes with the heroic ability to not only barely cope but also strive and also rebel are done, that their grown kids will be as free of generational trauma and smart enough to survive in the world they all hope will emerge.
It’s not enough to be at every protest personally - gold star, you - but you take normal people whose personal covid tragedies still resonate on those long stretches of days when they’re again not going to hit their goal of only one falling-down collapse in a parking lot as coping escapes them in the heat of the moment triggered by a full cart of bargain food, a wailing child and a lost set of car keys, and then you berate them for not being good enough like you?
Is their own trauma - which you may know nothing about - automatically not good enough that they’re not doing enough for you? What kind of human rights crusader has no empathy?
