You got a better idea?
Democracy is built on this shit. This is a clear attack on an elected official's mandate. And it's more or less the limit of what the people can do to express their discontent in modern civilised society. Or would you rather we just stayed home drinking wine and watching Love Island while our rights are eroded?
My friend you need to have a look around. Are you a fabulously wealthy while man? No? Then you're on the same side as the trans youth, whether you like it or not.

Yeah. That is absolutely the most important issue here.
Good grief, Penfold.
If, in some cataclysm, all of scientific knowledge were to be destroyed, and only one sentence passed on to the next generation of creatures, what statement would contain the most information in the fewest words? I believe it is the atomic hypothesis that all things are made of atoms — little particles that move around in perpetual motion, attracting each other when they are a little distance apart, but repelling upon being squeezed into one another. In that one sentence, you will see, there is an enormous amount of information about the world, if just a little imagination and thinking are applied.

So, if, during the apocalypse, you have access to a means of passing on a message to the poor bastards who have to live in the New World, it should be this:
"Everything is made of atoms"
You are under informed
This is half baked, to put it as kindly as I possibly can.
Here in the UK, it's up to 35% according to the latest data. And that's just in person. Online bullying has risen from zero in 2008 to 19%
So you've used the word 'inarguably' there, which I take as a challenge.
Bullying is not less widespread than it was before 2008. Anecdotally, I have two kids in high school and bullying is rife, it seems the environment in school is exactly as it was 30 years ago. This is the general consensus between myself, other parents and education/healthcare professionals that I've spoken to.
Less anecdotally, cyber bullying is now a thing. Kids can no longer escape their bullies by leaving school. This means that bullying is now immeasurably worse than pre-2008, which is exactly converse to your assertion, and may also be part of the cause of rising suicide rates. Social media's insipid ability to reach into the same "safe" spaces with advertising-driven beauty and masculinity standards has a lot to answer for there as well, which also explains the diverging figures along gender lines.
Hierarchy!
Man, don't you know? The law ain't made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin' and scrat-scroblin' for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like 'The rest of you, y'all scrats get sand.' And that's when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said 'This is fair now, this is the law.' Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

It's looking pretty catastrophic, the future. The climate catastrophe, the AGI singularity, and techno-feudal fascism are all imminent. Then, less imminent there's the altered nuclear threat, antibiotic resistance, societal collapse (due to all of the above, plus unprecedented wealth inequality) to name a few.
Revolution in some form is inevitable, but it's not guaranteed to be effective in making things better.
We're about nine historical turning points deep already, but I think the big ones are yet to come and I hate it.

Exactly. They won't be happy because they're not helping people, they're fucking people. And they are, ultimately, regardless of whatever fantasy they cling to, people. Just like the people they are starving. If one of us is chained, none of us are free, they just don't realise it.
