I'm sure they don't attend them.
But they might like to attend an Australia Day celebration on a different date. Unfortunately they can't.

I reckon people like to feel important and like they are making a difference so it's easier for them to be caught up into standing for something. Do they actualy care about the cause or about themself? Well I wonder.

I could flip that and say that I reckon people amp up when presented with change because they don’t like being told what to do. They especially don’t like change being implemented to accommodate minorities that they have no time for, even if it doesn’t really impact them. Well I wonder.

Really ? You'd think they wouldn't have the time. Yet they are even more vocal than the people seeking reasonable incremental change.

They aren't spending 8 hrs marching. How are they vocal? On internet forums and talking to their friends in general situations.
Much different then taking time out of normal life events.

Who spends 8 hours marching ? Literally nobody. Well maybe those anti-everything Neo-Nazis from Artarmon. If you are trying to drive a wedge between the people who try and make change for the better being more active than those who resist change, you only have to look at the most recent referendum. It was about a topic that really impacted nobody, but the mobilisation of anti-wokeness grew phenomenally. A debatable topic now is; was the result genuinely what people wanted ? Or were they just jumping on the bandwagon.

Aaaand don't we hate woke.

Not so at all. Couldn't care less what others do. I'm running my own race.

In the age of lived experience and micro aggressions, you don’t get to decide whether something ‘really impacts’ someone. We all get to be snowflakes now. This is the world your class of people created.

You're making false attribution to my contribution to change, plus making blind assumptions of who I am in the real world. Societal progress is driven by a myriad of factors, including cultural shifts, technological advancements, economic developments, and evolving social norms. It is a dynamic interplay of these elements that shapes the world we live in. Blanket statements about any group's role in driving societal change may inadvertently perpetuate stereotypes and hinder the collaborative efforts required for meaningful progress. Hence I will ignore your jab about snowflakes and class BS. You're better than that.
