In my day job, I trace ecological changes over time in landscapes by reading a very localised sediment core. Over time, this knowledge builds, piece by piece, to build a complex tapestry of what was. It's like building a functional database that then fuels positive action.

You can only do what you can and when you can, so do it well and realise that the little things do add up. People are busy, and realistically, no one really has the power to stop the giants involved in this rolling disaster as an individual.
Society (with a capital S, aka encompassing the social, political, and economic spheres) is a machine we must slow down, do maintenance on and redeploy. Because we are fighting the velocity of the thing, having many people act as another set of "breaks" on the direction trends are headed does matter.

We can do a lot, and there is a lot of money involved to tell us differently.
This is the first thing that anyone who has actually studied historical societal change would have to disagree with.
In fact, history almost completely shows that organizing one another and acting strategically in unison is the only hope, because there is effectively zero evidence of the "little things" just happening to add up.
In conclusion, you are absolutely full of it. You either don't know you're wrong because you're lying about having done the research, or you did the research and you are intentionally lying about the results.
