I think that you overestimate what even large amounts of people working together can accomplish vs the lobbying power of companies like Blackrock. Our state is corrupt and calling your representatives can only do so much.
Memes are a way of sharing ideas, and in any political movement, sharing ideas is critical. You may consider it a waste of time, and assume that OP and myself do nothing but virtue signal. Ultimately those assumptions are just that, and the only anonymous judgement has been on your end. I’m not making assumptions about you, or about what you do, support, believe, etc. I pointed out your assumptions, and you’re calling that judgement.
As far as vacant homes, there’s plenty of data out there if you’re willing to do a single internet search.

It is NOT an assumption that taking literally the lowest hanging fruit achieves virtually nothing.
There is no doubt that actual participation does more than self-righteous lazy people on the internet that pretend to care so much but can’t life a finger.
Also, that link you provided only proves that you don’t know what “vacancy” means in that data. Those are not free homes homeless can live in. Just because they’re not rented or sold doesn’t mean no one owns them.
The source I provided categorizes them based on why they are vacant. Consider that people owning homes they don’t live in is part of the problem with distribution of housing. Especially when we are talking about large real estate corporations that buy up large amounts of land. I don’t care if somebody has a vacation home, I do think it’s a problem for companies like greystar to exist. The system we use to distribute housing is failing our population.
Again, you’re calling us self-righteous and lazy, when you don’t know us, or anything about our lives other than that we post memes on social media.
You don’t know what kind of protesting we do, or what charity groups we support financially, or the way is that we help others in our communities. Perhaps, instead of trying to shit on others sharing ideas on a social media platform designed for sharing ideas, you can just walk away from a post.
