People who joined the protest will feel empowered and less isolated. Some got to know likeminded locals and may start to connect or make plans. They look forward to the next protest.

You need to let go of the hate, it makes your life miserable. There is nothing for you at the bottom of this, just paranoia and destruction. Go meet some real people in reality, it helps.

It has to start somehow, somewhere. So stop complaining and do it better, or get out of the way!

As a parent of two I really enjoy talking about this. It’s such a complex, nuanced topic. Yeah you sacrifice a lot, sleep, time, sanity, but you kinda unlock a whole new level of your life, in your mind. I wouldn’t want to change it back, ever.
Just yesterday I read about cultural neoteny. Our society is so safe, that people don’t have to mentally mature to full grown adults anymore. No famine, no war, no oppression, no violence to deal with (yet). We can stay teenagers forever, being unable to deal with criticism, lacking resilience, unwilling to take responsibilities, cultivating out sensitivities that then clash with other peoples sensitivity.
Again, this is not the place for a long conversations, but I can’t help but feel that the constant joke “look at those stupid parents giving up their lifes” may be a part of that. There is some truth to it though. I am a little burned out, I may have dropped some life goals along the way. But then again, what’s the purpose of being alive?

I have syncthinged my desktop (Mint as well) and my smartphone with a Raspberry Pi (DietPi!) as middledevice. If I change something on one of the two, the file gets synched to the Raspi, which then gives it to the other device as soon as it’s online. This works great since a couple of years.

Use DietPi, it’s a great OS
