They have no coherent goals behind “doing the work” as if that’s all we need to do to win power. That’s only half of the equation imo.
Probably because “fuck reading books lets actually do something” sounds right in their head. And in mass media thats the way the “hero” functions. Due to a pop-history understanding of like revolutionary/civil rights movements, which seemingly suggest, that to achieve success means doing a lot of big flashy actions after another. The truth is a lot of boring work, planning, and even “manufacturing” the “flashy act”.
Like Rosa Parks did her famous act of resistance in accordance with the women’s political council, and after 15-year old Claudette Colvin resisted in the same manner, months prior.
