Everybody is guilty in some way of not making a change, or not taking a stand, whatever the 'good' or 'bad' subject that is.

Still, no single indvidual is to blame in most cases.

The education and the media in practice are means to shape the values, believes and perception of people. At the mass scale, people flows into an unstoppable current, growing, fed by itself.

Taking a stand against these currents from the outside would be suicide. (Fortunately there is not only one current to go into, yet).

FB will likely reach a dead end someday, but that sort of current will continue to flow.

IMHO, the best effort for an individual is trying to get other individuals realize and have some understanding in what kind of current they are flowing.
