> I don't think a majority of people hold these views. What we're doing is amplifying vocal minorities and drowning out everyone else.

Then I'd argue perhaps people haven't thought about it well enough. My point in another comment was that people formerly who could find no audience would likely get shut down since there was a bit of inoculation against certain ideas. However, with the internet you can reach an audience who finds your ideas acceptable far more easily than you could before.

> And tech skills aren't even necessary.

Absolutely. If you care enough, you'll find a way to help. My opinion is that tech thinks way too highly of itself. It thinks that technology itself can actually be a panacea. I've found that generally to be the opposite—that tech most often gets used to "get around" the hard work. However, that's probably just my cynicism speaking.
