Clearly people aren't complaining enough because everything is still going to shit idk.
I mean, that's the thing - complaining doesn't get you anywhere. Sure, you can identify problems, but for anything to get better you have to get off your ass and actually fix them.
tried that, couldn't afford the gas, or the parking.

Words are big sweaty balls of hot air. Of course nothing changes in response to that.
I do agree that there is far too much talking in relation to action. People seem to love to over complicate everything.
Except, we have complained enough. People everywhere online, really have this mentality, that politicians, corporations and other entities read everything everyone is complaining about. If that was true, maybe something might've been done, but that's not what is happening. They're clearly filtering us and have been filtering us for years. They only want to read or listen to things that are positive.
The kind of feedback they especially don't want to read or listen to, are the vehemently strong negative feedbacks calling for deaths or so. They're fragile people and they know what they do is pissing us all off, but all that we've been doing, is shouting into the void. It's not reaching the people whom we want to hear us the most and it never will.
The only things we have to do now, is to really get up infront of their face and force them to take accountability for the shit they're doing to others at the expense of their benefit.
Yeah I mean that's more of the thing I'm talking about, not writing stern letters to the editor or writing snarky tweets every day but everyone collectively letting their feelings be known that we will not stand for this or something I guess.
