Instead be like a meditating monk. Not "never do anything", but more like doing stuff when you are driven to do them, when the time is right. And do them without ego or strong emotion.

Truth,
and understand that
even the frailest and least significant acts
can unleash unfathomable energies
hidden under the frustrated hopes of the silent.

I agree. But since some people react negatively to words like "energies", I'll give a concrete example. Normies may see all non brainwashed people as extremists wanting to kill grandma

.... and if a normie knows I am in that category, and instead of pushing my stuff, I show real human compassion, that may be the key to showing this person he has been lied to.

"Normies" are just ordinary folk
whose lives are so complicated by _their_government
they just cannot see too far outside of 'norms'.
A tiny dose of empathy can win many hearts.

Definitely. Some don't have time to study this issue, some lack experience or critical thinking skills, some have so much invested in a career (like kids) that they cannot sacrifice it

This btw is what I read into the Daoist principle "Wu Wei".
