It’s very disorienting with so much noise.

I think it can be done faster. All of this delaying of justice just allows the enemy to continue. We should be very impatient at this point - not complacent.
The political part perhaps, but not the culture part, not to the extents it needs to be done in order to make it something that can last.
This video by Nick Freitas explains what I am trying to get at better than I do. Politics is the end result, it all starts taking over the minds of enough people first, and the institutions, and the culture, the stories we tell to each other. And because it is impossible to get rid ALL of the people involved with that.
For starters, it would probably mean getting rid of over 90 % of current teachers, from kindergarten to universities, and replacing them, and that just is not going to happen. Especially not since a lot of those people on the university level, at least when their subject is something else than something which directly involves ideological parts, really do know they main subject well enough that we'd lose a lot of information we need, even if they may be pretty thoroughly brainwashed when it comes to subjects outside of their specialty.

(or "The Meme War Destroying the Left" named video on Nick Freitas's channel if you can't get there using that as a link, or if it doesn't show as a link, or my copy of it isn't right since copy and paste for those doesn't seem to work anymore, at least for me, so I just wrote it and may have made mistakes)
The main thing is anyway: a lot of those people who have grown up with the brainwashing, and assimilated that type of thinking into their world view, are never going to give it up completely. And most of them aren't those people who are out there demonstrating or attacking the ICE agents or doing anything that type of active that would justify kicking them out of their jobs if they happen to be teachers or anything. But they are going to keep on teaching those ideas, in schools, to their own children, etc. They may not even realize they are doing it, advocating for something, because that thinking is too deeply carved into their worldview.
And THAT is the part that will take time to get rid of. And the way to do that is by replacing the stories we tell each other as a society. Our culture. If we manage that this current revolution, if we now manage to win in the politics etc. may become something lasting, if not, it may end up as the somewhat similar looking change during the early 80s, when it looked for a while as if the tide maybe had changed. And then the whole thing just evaporated and we went back to running to the other direction as a society.
