I get what you're saying and guess I agree like 99%, but think it's important not to be too black and white/fatalistic in your analysis of the situation.Sure, there are opportunities everywhere. I have an established business and limited capital though, which leads to a bit of tunnel vision. Usually this focus is good, but you also miss some stuff.
I was referring more to the general environment and state of our countries. You can be successful in a shithole country, during wars, etc. Just requires a mindset change that I haven't been able to make yet. Maybe was too comfortable until now.
It's both, but leaning towards people really supporting it. Government handouts have a lot to do with it. People are starting to rely on the nanny state.
"Just moving along with it" is probably the best way to go for now. Just smile, nod and agree. Stay under the radar.
This stuff is useful to get some likes and as talking points for podcasts, but has zero effect in the real world. At least I see none.
Civil disobedience can be highly effective and the example I gave was about directly (and indirectly as well) changing people's behaviour, both social and financial, I don't know how more real world than that you want it and how you can conclude honestly that it had zero effect if you look at that situation objectively.
Now, if you mean to say it's gonna take a billion times more than that and/or this situation as an isolated event having less than a .0000001% chance of changing the grand scheme of things, I'd agree with you.
