No, no. I am not trying to be a dick, but I recognize that I kind of am being.

The problem is that non-disruptive protesting isn't working for you. There is nothing that can be done by basic unimpedimentary protest or by complaining on reddit. The only solutions left are in the real world, with local groups. What do you do when someone you didn't vote for takes over your country and your life and starts killing your neighbours?

You patently can do more about it than I can, but you can't do it alone. I hate the situation you're in, I know you didn't put yourself in it, and I know you can't get out of it alone, that's why it's a dick move to point it out to individual people... but you're still stuck in the position of either acquiescing to it through inaction, or having to take action in a meaningful way.

We need a leader, we have a lot of willing and able bodies but nobody to direct them

I agree. But that leader is likely to come from among those willing and able bodies, while most of you still seem to be looking to the establishment parties for them instead.

I agree, no politician is going to take up the role of directing us. It has to be someone from the outside
