"oh my god we did this thing for attention and no one is paying attention to us"

Maybe because we're burnt out because people are outraged every couple of minutes.

Do you work in the government? If not then these protests weren't for you.

Apathy is a part of the problem. The road to Nazi Germany was lined with many of your type that complained that the damn left are complaining too much

When the Nazis came for the communists,
I remained silent;
I was not a communist.

When they locked up the social democrats,
I remained silent;
I was not a social democrat.

When they came for the trade unionists,
I did not speak out;
I was not a trade unionist.

When they came for the Jews,
I remained silent;
I wasn’t a Jew.

When they came for me,
there was no one left to speak out.

—Martin Niemöller
