Truly it is a sad thing for a people, as for a man, to fall into Scepticism, into dilettantism, insincerity; not to know Sincerity when they see it. For this world, and for all worlds, what curse is so fatal? The heart lying dead, the eye cannot see.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Lecture (1840-05-22), “The Hero as King,” Home House, Portman Square, London

Soon enough we'll have a proper CTA, pretty much asking for historical examples of communities disengaging from cruel systems and nurturing their own alternatives.

A quotation from Eleanor Roosevelt

Like everything else in the world, however, there is a price to pay for love, for the more happiness we derive from the existence and companionship of other human beings, the more vulnerable we are when there is any cause for apprehension. It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who live generously know. We all know people who are so much afraid of pain that they shut themselves up like clams in a shell and, giving out nothing, receive nothing and therefore shrink until life is a mere living death.

Eleanor Roosevelt (1884-1962) First Lady of the US (1933-45), politician, diplomat, activist
Column (1939-04-01), “My Day”

NO! your people are not lazy or resistant!

#Disengagement is a typical result of the ongoing experience of #ineffectiveness.

...if people feel unseen, unheard, unrespected, they stop being active

Passivity isn't employees natural preference. Building #trust and delegating meaningful #responsibility rebuilds ones self-efficacy, which — alongside curiosity — serves as a sustainable motivator for exceptional performance.

@europesays
Always more apps and digitalization; always less genuine human support. Fuck that. A good education teaches not to be a bystander, to be responsive against cruelty, so kids and other targets won't have to seek recourse in some apps.
