I understand what you're saying, the issues are so overwhelming that it's pointless to waste our time trying to change them. Part of me feels that way but the other part fells that if we all stay idle we'll eventually walk into another fascist nightmare as the tools for surveillance & oppression have never been as powerful. This along side the concentration of decision making through corporate and now centralized government (such as EU), the recipe for disaster is only increasing. Like Gandhi said,

    "What you do is insignificant but it's very important that you do it."

I know what you mean as well. I'm not saying I endorse the line of thought I presented up there, but that that's the way most people really do think, and they have reason for it.
