Are y'all not seeing more protests, and bigger protests than you were in 2020? The only difference here is that I haven't seen violence or property damage. Otherwise the protests are bigger and more frequent.
There have been multiple protests every week in my city for months. I see virtually no coverage of it in the news.
I think we need a better strategy.
Say I have US$10,000. What's the best use of that money if my goal is to stop climate change?
Your time and energy is far more valuable than your money.
I would recommend using that money as an emergency fund, and getting involved with an activist organization working to stop climate change. There are a wide range of them, with tactics ranging from legislative pressure to property destruction and civil disobedience. Believe it or not, there are lots of small local problems that a small group can meaningfully impact, and will add up.
While there are systemic problems that cannot be solved by an individual, they can be solved by collective organization. You have to be part of that collective if you want to stop climate change.
I don't think Columbus was the origin of the word "colony"
