Protecting the community, local elections, volunteering, and organizing/participating in protests is a great example of how to change institutions. You can make your neighborhood better, change the lives in big ways of those you can reach, and hopefully that impact spreads further than your local circle.

People should be less focused on unrealistic and radical world shaping events (unless somehow the opportunity arises) and more on the small changes a single, ordinary human without connections or influence can make.

By growing a cause in number, “revolution” sparks. Not through talking shit on Lemmy.
