Collective resistance is incredibly difficult, often failing because of the collective action problem: individuals have conflicting interests, fear of repression, and a tendency to "free ride," assuming others will act. Large groups are fragmented by power imbalances, distrust, and competing identities, making unified action rare.

People are too busy fighting each other is a core reason why these movements struggle. Overcoming this requires building social trust and civic institutions that can create a shared vision and provide a structure for cooperation, which is a massive, long-term challenge when people are divided and suffering. So what do we do?
