Question:

[Faux pas]

Why are the 'others' busier causing bad trouble than we are at causing the good kind?

~~~~~~~~

Is it because they are so relentless that we can't keep up?

1. What good trouble are you causing?

4. How is answering a question with a question doing any good?

Try responding to a question with a constructive suggestion, instead. For example, tell us about some "good trouble" you are involved with.

7. Good question,

trying to survive 45's shit storm has been my main job. Makes it harder to spread out too far with all the covid spreading anti vax holes
out there.

2. Yes, because they have corporations funding them

Very frustrating on environmental issues because it is mostly a slow retreat. Especially since so much attention is going towards climate issues.

[Faux pas]

5. I

keep forgetting about all the dirty deals going on out there. I guess because my mind doesn't work that way.

3. They are busier than we are, actually

Older folks tend to be more conservative, retired people in particular. And retired people have far more time to be busy political activists then people who are busy working and/or raising a family

Moreover, right-wing politics is a business. Rich people and businesses see it as a profit-making venture, so they pay people, one way or another, to push their agenda. They are literally at it every day. The left tends to go back to their lives and their day jobs and don't get back into it until a campaign or a specific need arises.

[Faux pas]

6. Bingo!

Thank you for your well thought out response.

8. One of the themes of Tolkien's works

Evil is always rebuilding, always scheming while normal people just try to live normal lives.
