Others have said it but I'll say it again. You need to recalibrate what you think of as meaningful change.
Contrary to popular belief, history was never written by great men.
You might associate a few individuals with the great movements of history, but the people you know by name only echoed the popular opinion of their time.
The real wheels of history inch forward when common people influence their neighbours and children to strive for something a little better than the status quo.
Do something. Take the smallest step that is recognisably in the direction you want society to go.
