In some sense, the quoted statement is obviously right.
But in another sense, it's wrong. To cite just one particular example which is dear to my heart because I work closely with school children and students: News about the climate crisis typically originate in some far-away location. But to fight the climate crisis, we have to get organized in every single city, including the city you live in.
- hi5eyes 6y agohow exactly will "organizing" "fight" the current climate crisis? can you even outline the necessary steps individuals must take to have any real impact in this "fight" as opposed to massive institutional change Goethe: "If one has not read the newspapers for some months & then reads them all together, one sees, as one never saw before, how much time is wasted with this kind of literature." is it me or do a lot of people seem to justify their thirst for mostly pointless and irrelevant information with the idea that all this information will somehow lead to direct action on their particular issue?
