Well no shit it’s not just about sitting on your ass waiting for other people to do things for you. But any effective method will take time, and most major results won’t happen within our lifetime.

Violence is a nice way to feel better about your circumstances, but it has about as much effect as inaction, especially in the current climate. Despite what so many proponents of violent action keep telling you, there’s a ton of non-violent action one can take… it just won’t have immediate effect. It also requires that you work with others who don’t see exactly as you do. Which is a major problem for a lot of people these days.
