    Are people waiting to do things?

    I think people are busy and they need an incentive to prioritize their political engagement. I agree that guilt is a bad motivator and something else would be better.

    Still, not wanting to handle guilt seems to be a core mechanism in influencing people. If that’s how the population is controlled then the left would have to figure out how to handle it to win back influence.

      I think people need something simple to get them started.

      Just look at Stop Killing Games. We can argue whether it’s a distraction (bread and circuses) or a powerful precedent for public participation and software rights, but either way it managed to collect over a million signatures and we can learn something from it.

        something simple to get them started.

        Anything would do. But how would people stay committed? Stop Killing Games hasn’t grown into a political movement.
