Because otherwise you need to raise awareness and bring people to your side.

Taking individual action can be part of raising awareness if done publicly. Riding a bike around your community is an act against climate change, and an awareness campaign simultaneously.

how do you envision change happening?

By taking action. Words are cheap. Actions speak louder than words.

it was just one group of rich greedy people turning on another group of rich greedy people. Nothing to get excited about.

Sounds better than what we currently have:

Groups of poor desperate people turning on other groups of poor desperate people.

The most likely scenario is that the person with first-hand knowledge misinterpreted the situation.

Exactly. Which is why I started with questions so you could explain more. That's how a conversation works and prevents it from getting toxic.

"For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

OOTL:

Jeremy Vine

On August 2016, a car driver threatened and was abusive to Vine while he was cycling along Hornton Street in Kensington, London. Vine captured the encounter on his helmet camera, later broadcasting it on YouTube where it was viewed several million times. Vine also reported it to the police. On 18 April 2017, the car driver was jailed for nine months for threatening behaviour. At the time of the incident, she was subject to a suspended sentence for various other offences.

Here's the video, it contains road rage so don't watch it if you have high blood pressure.

Surprisingly enough she was 100% cool with it

That's cause she knew and was giving you the time you needed.

Relationship goals.

Bus stop doesn't get used

I've used Rosalind in the past to learn about bioinformatics. I solved about 17 of the problems, which is about 6% of the problems on the site.

I think it gave a decent mix of guided learning and letting you figure things out on your own. I would say having some background knowledge in biology and coding would be necessary. It doesn't do a lot of hand holding, but there is some.
