Thank you - the comment you replied to is basically a case in point of what I’m talking about.
> Protesting and making your opinions known is way to help solve the problem.
Not when the protesting and opinions are based on a false understanding that comes from motivated reasoning, knee-jerk negative responses, and not trying to understand the issue deeply.
Then it’s just noise that confuses the issue and makes things worse.
Most of the time it’s not helping to solve the real problem anyway. It just makes people feel good about themselves without actually engaging in the work.
