It's unfortunate how many people want others' problems to be as ignorable as possible.

- the_snooze 7y agoIt's dangerous (and quite condescending) to assume that people are ignoring your plight out of ignorance or malice. Don't ask "why aren't they listening to me?" Ask instead "how am I making my point relatable and appealing to them?" If you're pissing off the very people you're trying to win over to your side, then you have little reason to be surprised when they turn against you.
- arcticbull 7y agoTruthfully you can either make them like you (by being relatable) or hate you (by annoying the crap out of them) -- just so long as you're not forgettable.
- the_snooze 7y agoIt sounds like you're putting your fame before your own supposed cause.
- arcticbull 7y agoIf you're forgettable there is no cause because nobody's listening
- arcticbull 7y agoIMO we have an unlimited supply of problems we could focus our attention to, and as people, we don't have the capacity to address them all. We sort in order of pain, and protests cause pain, and pain causes action. It's less a question of morality and more of human physiology.
