Excellently written and definingly something I grapple with. "We must fight our tigers in the moment of their occurrence by simply not allowing them to occur. But if we are unsure if others will stand with us, we become impotent of action and abuses against our compatriots occur." There in is the crux of how we must proceed, we must jump into the fray and do what is within our power to resist like this danger is real and imminent. We are all being threatened and we must all act to protect each other and ourselves as best we can. We can no longer wait for our compatriots to get on the same page. If we don't this will just get bigger and bigger and worse and worse. These people have no bottom and we will ultimately just be run over and crushed, One other issue with this is the speed and the chaotic nature of their actions, we have no idea what or where they will explode next, so it is difficult to be proactive, the ones who are in the midst of witnessing the injustice must react with the clarity that my survival is your survival. For sure waiting for a hero will not save us.
