Something I always find odd is how many people feel compelled to gleefully tell people who are trying to make a difference that it's stupid to try and nothing will make a difference. It's really the glee that gets me (as a cynic, I don't disagree that most efforts are doomed).
The latest example of this is the reddit protest, where a bunch of people on discords I'm on, etc., are gleefully proclaiming that the protesters are all idiots and everyone will be back to using reddit as normal.
