A lot of people here are either trying to get us depressed or trying to share their depression with us. Despite all that is going on, all they see are the negatives.
You wonder what you can do to "wake up the sheep". You wonder if there will ever be a majority of people dedicated to "the cause". You wonder what, if anything, can be done.
I'm going to tell you the reality of revolutions.
First, pretty much every revolution in the history of the world has failed. The ones you know about were the rare successes, and they are talked about endlessly BECAUSE they were rare. Things just don't go that way.
Next, understand that no revolution was ever popular in its time. You don't need to be popular. You just need to win. Once you win, the "sheeple" will fall in behind you. They were useless to win the revolution, they are useless in a revolution. In fact, you'd rather have the *other guy* have all the sheeple.
Never underestimate the influence and power one person holds. History is FULL of examples of people who beat all the odds and won. Anyone who knows history knows that the status quo is not the status quo for very long, because INDIVIDUALS are going to wreck the status quo and create a new one. If you aren't a revolutionary INDIVIDUAL then you should be looking for someone who is and working with them.
Everything is a team effort. No one person can do everything or be everything. Find your role in life, and fill it to the best of your ability. If you're really, really good at something, the revolutionary people are going to need your ability. They may find you but you probably need to find them.
Never sit on your hands. Nothing good ever came to those who waited around doing nothing. Granted, sometimes waiting is a good move. But if you are waiting for one thing, then be doing something else.
Rest and relaxation can be just as important as work. Work hard, play hard, sleep hard. Those who find balance in their life are WAY more productive than those who don't. They can get more done in a few hours than most people can do in a week. FOCUSED, TARGETED action that does not waste effort is the goal. Remember George Washington spent a lot of time resting his troops. If they weren't rested and ready to go, he would've never been able to raid the enemy on Christmas Eve.
