Or hypothetically they think it's very much not pointless. I imagine most of us would have some current events that we think is not only worth listening to, but acting on. Which isn't an argument to watch news/etc, as it may be exceptionally rare. Just that i imagine we could all say quite similar things.

To me, if anything, it really goes to show up important "yelling with appropriate volume" is. So many of those "with a cause" as is being discussed here are pretty widely ignored, as it seems they're always yelling. I can't tell what is meaningful from them when it's almost always of equal volume, fear, etc.
