There's millions of people who do walk the talk. Lots of them do this in silence, without any kind of personal gains in social status.

This kind of faux-nihilistic pretension is peak irony - convincing oneself that no one actually cares to feel better about not caring.

And millions more working against your theoretical "silent majority". It will take billions. Ratios are not there.

Not saying I don't care. Am saying it will take actual change in agency of billions to make me believe the rhetoric.

Thoughts and prayers are not cutting it is what I am saying.

You go ahead, sit online repeating the same empty rhetoric and assure me your "thoughts and prayers" being cranked to 11 is meaningful effort.
