> What would it look like to make real change to address the objects, rather than the subjects of frustration?

Real change will come when those who actually put work into it. Nobody will do it for you. Not China, not Trump, not the DNC. When the NAACP noticed that even the Senators who supported Civil Rights were too apathetic to put together a coalition to pass the Civil Rights Act, they created that coalition themselves. This is level political organizing that actually gets things done, and likely how Meta and Alphabet got this TikTok ban through as well.

Sorry, but I fought and lost. If I have to be under someone's boot, at least I get to choose the boot.

    If that's your attitude, you can't be surprised when your side continues to lose. Meta "fought and lost" their first attempt to ban TikTok.
