Collective suicide is an ineffective strategy. Frontal attacks only work when one has overwhelming numbers - three to one just to have even odds against an entrenched position.
That said, our sappers have been preparing the way for years. Don't presume that just because you haven't seen anything on the surface, that nothing has happened.
I have seen signs of change, but they are slow. They will not always be so slow.
But coming out at this time is not an effective strategy. You could ask Lindsay Ashford if he were still active, or Kevin Brown, or Jack McClellan. Hell, even Phillip Greaves, who isn't even a pedophile, ended up in jail just for publicly questioning the anti-pedophile propaganda. Even Neil Wilkes' self-immolation only merited a brief mention in the press, 4 or 5 months after the event.
Meanwhile ... events continue to unfold, and the signs are visible to those of us who have been watching for a long time. The race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, but to those who endure - and so we do not run aimlessly, nor do we fight by beating the air. (To misquote Solomon and Paul.)
Protesting may one day be a useful tactic, but it is not sufficient in itself, and is generally counterproductive at this time. Meanwhile, we are making significant inroads into politics and culture. That is where our future lies.
