    What would it genuinely take to get people angry enough with the status quo to force radical change?

    First, I thought natural disasters would… But people just seem to get temporarily displaced from their homes and then come right back to rebuild on the same land. They’ll just blame the one off event.

    Then I thought covid would be the breaking point, where people are finally uncomfortable enough to take action.

    Will the next pandemic force the change?

    Will it take mass homelessness and starvation?

    Will it be an inspirational artist/piece of artwork that captures humanity?

    I’m genuinely asking what you guys think.

      It won’t be anger that changes anything. We can go to work seething.

      It’ll be hope. How can we get on with the status quo if we think something so much better is waiting?
