The problem I see with these calls to action/complaints about inaction that come out every so often is I haven't really seen any of them come with a plan of action that it seems like the risk of loss matches up with a chance of success.

This is the real crux of the issue. There's no action to be had because there is no movement to join. I want to take action but I don't see what action I would take to alleviate any of the things plaguing my society, much less actions that would have a chance at succeeding.
