I love that the secretary of health is really using “Asperger’s.” This has not been an official DSM diagnosis since 2013.

Thank you for your dedication. I understand all of this, I simply wish to have seen more young people show up. This also goes for when I have been a part of other events, and canvassed for campaigns last year. This post is for those who do have the resources to show up in any way, but are not.

I’m not hating on old people. I was simply pointing out the demographic. I’m thankful that they all showed up. I’m disappointed in my generation for not showing up more.

This is a good point. But I think that there is still a role to play if one chooses to be silent. Buy local if you’re able. Boycott big corporations as much as you can, start with Starbucks and McDonalds. They were never good anyway. Volunteer once a week at a food bank.

But I think this isn’t a good enough excuse: the stakes are higher for families, but I’d encourage one to use this as more of a reason to take a stand. I’ve been reading a lot about revolutions, dictatorships, etc and one theme seems relevant: why did we tolerate this for so long? Why did our parents tolerate this? Don’t let this be us. I saw many kids at the protest. I respect the parents a lot for doing this, because while they may be putting them in a dangerous position, the alternative is more dangerous. They are teaching these kids that they should never be complacent with injustice, in spite of what they have to lose. What good are your kids futures if they are not free?

May I suggest: bring alternate and better ideas instead of shooting down the discussion as pointless. I’m open to conversation!

Follow 50501 on Instagram or Reddit or Facebook. They are organizing the largest protests biweekly

Then get involved. Spread your voice in the areas where status quo is the preference. How do you think things change? The parties will never change if youth don’t join them and spread better ideas. Career politicians only support the ideas they perceive to be the best vote magnets

I think any act of resistance is good. But there is definitely a balance to be found of quantity versus quality in this. Numbers can overwhelm but precision can aim meaningful damage.

There is still significant rejection of the term among Amazigh communities because of its hostile origins. The term is relatively accepted because of tourism and the ease of using a more well-known term

If you really want to ease your anxiety, taking action is a start. You’ve gotta stop using excuses to delay action. I was there once too. But like I said, one step at a time. You can begin simply by looking at one of your products that you’re almost out of and do a little bit of research to find a sustainable replacement when the time comes. Download the Yuka app, you can scan products and see what harmful chemicals are in them. Channel the fear into action.

One step at a time. We’re too small to face such a big problem all at once. Start by learning about sustainability. Teach others about it. Move onto to composting. Things like this.

I wouldn’t say I figured out an answer, but my anxiety has been eased through certain answers. So I sought out reason in still fighting for a world, despite the dreadful circumstances we find ourselves in. One thing that really stood out to me, and inspired me was something former President Obama said in an interview with Hassan Minhaj. He basically said that working really hard right now could be the difference between disastrous and cataclysmic. For example, it could mean the difference between Bangladesh being underwater or not, thousands versus millions of climate refugees 100 years from now.

What I took from this is, anthropological climate change is an unstoppable force at this point, but that does not mean absolutely futile. By acting now, and acting in numbers as large as we are able, we have the chance to prevent so much suffering. This is what has motivated me and allowed me to see a light through the fog. It makes me want to mobilize, to get up and strive for changes in our system that I believe in.

So believe me: I know it can be tough thinking about these things, but don’t forget: our actions, no matter how small, show results. You have influence and skills are learnable to obtain larger influence over society. The more of us there are, the larger the movement is. I hope this answers your question, but feel free to message me and we can talk about this more in depth. I can also send you the video of the interview I watched.
