I wish the energy that's now being directed at knocking down statues and cancelling people could be focused on substantive change instead.https://twitter.com/justinamash/status/1276316884179333124 …

s/Everyone/Overwhelming majority. I stand formally corrected. My point doesn't change. I'd bet a lot of the people who you are frustrated with are helping in the ways that they can and have access to, and you championing your said substantial efforts would help them join you.
I already mentioned one in this same thread. (Don't be fooled by their businesslike site, which is designed to appeal to state governments rather than activists, because that's how you actually make change happen in this world.)https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1276545624729686016 …

Someone who follows you on twitter won't see that message - they see your concerns about statues, cancel culture and the "amateur revolutionaries" who you seem particularly fixated on. Also, false dichotomies aren't helpful. The mechanisms of change are multifaceted.

Agreed. Belittling people who are lashing out of hopelessness by using pedantic notations and name calling (amateur revolutionary) is not a great way to bring awareness to your cause
