And this is why everything will keep going up in flames - you're not interested in doing what it has been shown to take to get people to support your cause.

Unfortunately it doesn't matter what we think people should be angry about. FWIW I obviously completely agree with you! People should be angry about those things! Turns out they aren't. What matters is the reality we live in.
