Gregory's ServerSo it's because "we" don't see? "We" are too busy, too distracted?
What should "we" be doing?

I don't know. I think "they" have become immune to screaming. That they like to hear that the poor are in pain, hungry. "They" like to hear women cry. I lived with one. One thing you didn't list was quietly doing things we believe will improve the lives of others, while quietly working on things we believe will bring change. Some of that is done on a personal level, some is done by writing. I'm one of those people, but I will never know what kind of impact I am having.  @ceejaedevine I really like your approach, and I'm certain you're having an impact, whether you can see it or not. |

I'd say there are two ways to answer your question.
First, we can do the small things like stop flying, shift to a meatless diet, ride a bike or walk instead of driving everywhere... and those are all good things, but they won't really make a huge difference, because it's the people in power who have to take the biggest steps, make the course-changing decisions that are so urgently needed.
So, the second thing we can do is join up with, or at least actively support, the nearest strong protest movement that we can find. And if there isn't one, maybe try to organize a Fridays For Future strike action together with our neighbors.
