Proof of the indomitable human spirit.
Rules:
- Posts must inspire hope or highlight the beauty of existence
- Posts and comments harassing or antagonizing a real person will be removed
- Posts mentioning religious topics are allowed but religion should not be the main point of the post. E.g. “God’s beautiful world” is fine because of the “beautiful world” part, but “God loves you” isn’t because religion is the focal point
- Posts and comments judging group of people in negative way based on stereotype will be removed.
- No posts with toxic positivity. All human emotions are valid.

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.
