President Donald Trump told Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele he wanted to send "homegrown criminals" to El Salvador next and encouraged Bukele to build more prisons.
You can have impact personally. That’s why many people hesitate to join a group and actually do something - they don’t understand only if they are personally active they can matter. Not doing anything because a person feels like activity is not realistic makes people resigned and idle.
Edit: I do understand your feeling of needing to have an impact. It’s important to understand what kind of activity is worth devoting ones self to. I personally feel motivated to be active when I watch superhero movies, so I guess it can have different effects on different people. As always, things are not black and white.
I agree with what you’re saying, philosophically. A group is just a framework we put around individuals. That’s how it works in the real world.
But the idea of being able to have an impact on my own has a special appeal for me personally. It’s not a practical thing, which is why it’s escapism.
