Of course it's not a waste to fight for justice, to work to right wrongs; but it is an extra tax on those already working from power deficits.
In her book "Good and Mad: The Revolutionary Power of Women's Anger," Rebecca Traister explores the significance of fighting for justice and addressing injustices in society. She argues that activism and the quest for equality are vital pursuits, even though they can be taxing for those already disadvantaged. The struggle to right wrongs is essential but often comes with an additional burden for marginalized individuals.
Traister emphasizes that while the fight for justice is noble, it adds pressure on those who are already grappling with a lack of power. The emotional and social toll can be significant, making the activism challenging for those who face systemic inequalities. Ultimately, these efforts, though difficult, play a crucial role in pushing for societal change and empowerment.
