Why is Protesting and Activism Part of the Problem?

When I protest or take pride in my activism, I do so to escape from solving my own problems.

I can far more easily project blame onto others who I believe, but am not sure of, are also creating problems.

I will chose whomever or whatever blame most easily sticks within the current narrative dominating social organisation.

It sticks so well because there are millions of others partaking in the same activity as me, who will back me immediately, because they know I will do the same for them

The consequences of resisting here are serious. I will no longer get precious social validation from my peers. I'll be on my own. If I start to succeed in my resistance I'm very likely to be censored by a furious and unconscious social group. A great deal of success might result in my death.

Blaming others, in spectacular public displays of saving the planet or backing the latest class of victim is a very cosy place to rest my head. I know there is no risk

What are the consequences? 

I will never be a hero.

So meaning is removed from my waking life. I'm very likely to start suffering for it, mentally. And am very likely to start harming not only myself, but others in a kind of revenge attack.

Would it be easier and less painful, in the end, to look in the mirror, confess to my own sins, and start to resolve them first?
