Your "tilting at the windmill" phrasing is interesting. I don't get the sense from your tone otherwise that you disapprove of it or think it's pointless.

I took it as doing what too many people feels like tilting the windmill. As a society (and frankly in myself on too many issues) I notice way to much "well what can we do" defeatist attitude.

Isn't the phrase "tilting at windmills?"

It comes from Don Quixote, as I recall, and suggests a fruitless effort. A waste of time.

Yeah, def is tiling at windmills, but my point is the same, I took it as them saying the public has taken a defeatist attitude and views it as tilting at windmills but here's a case where it wasn't fruitless effort and we need to view it as inspiration.

"Tilting the windmill" is from Don Qixote who famously fights a windmill (which is a bit absurd) so he is courageous but also a bit foolish.
