I don’t think the choice in front of most people is chicken suit and tacos vs more substantive action, it’s chicken suit and tacos vs nothing at all. Most people aren’t engaged in any form. Getting them to go on strike is probably out of the question. Getting them to do something they think is funny so they can post it on Instagram is much more realistic. That’s the world we live in.

“That’s the world we live in” is the passive attitude that allows atrocities to happen. I will absolutely not be a part of enabling that rhetoric.
You can be annoyed with it all you want but that doesn’t make it any less true.
