We shouldn’t try to do anything, because the guilty are too powerful?

No. I’m saying we’ve had far too many false hope protests that have wasted decades of time and uncountable resources, and the people in power are literally incapable of the empathy involved to produce results. In fact, the latest craze in right-wing doctrine is calling empathy a weakness, just to make sure any vestiges that still exist within their voters is excised out.

If you want to do something, do something more forceful. These people only care about a few things: not losing their fortunes, and not dying. If you can make them afraid for one of those two things, pursue that.
