"That's the world we live in." 

A profoundly depressing sentiment. It encapsulates a resignation to the harsh realities of our time, acknowledging a world fraught with inequalities, injustices, and seemingly insurmountable problems.

It's a phrase that carries a heavy weight of disillusionment. It speaks to the acceptance of a world where poverty persists amidst plenty, where violence and conflict are normalized, where discrimination and prejudice persist despite our supposed progress.

The phrase implies a sense of powerlessness, as if we are bystanders in a world we cannot change. It's a reminder that despite our efforts, systemic issues persist, leaving many feeling defeated and disheartened.

However, it's crucial to remember that acknowledging the world's flaws should not lead to complacency. Rather, it should serve as a catalyst for collective action and the pursuit of a better, more equitable world. While it may be depressing to say, it can also be a call to challenge the status quo and work towards meaningful change.

Privacy is a fundamental human right inherent to our existence, not bestowed by governments. It's an innate aspect of our autonomy and dignity. 

 This is silly, collective action against who? All of the wolds most powerful country's, corporations, and institutions are flying the rainbow flag. Their values align with yours. The only thing left for you to do is start pushing people you don't like off your life raft. They aren't going to gulag themselves

Rather than "collective action" as the traditional meaning of assembling a group of people, to go against another group of people...consider this:

collective action can be a group of people, taking individual actions, with their own self interest in mind, valuing the individual rights that humans should have. 

In your example, collective action can be a group of people kicking other people off the life raft. The group in this case, does not need to know each other or be physically together...they only need to have a collective thought process, then take a action as an individual. This can still create a collective result.
