Which was the main crux of my message. There is nothing more pessimistic than a defeated optimist.

Be disappointed, but realize that nobody is going to hand you societal change on a silver platter out of the goodness of their hearts. The people who seek power are rarely those who should hold power. Fix shit. Make it better. If you can’t, then burn it to the fucking ground and make something better.

The point was to contribute. Do SOMETHING. Whining fixes nothing.
