I think that you're missing the point. This isn't about virtue signalling ( although many on the internet would like to make it about that), it is about enacting change. Change over time is a process, and if you're made up number were true one might hope that 1% would change over a year, and perhaps 1% the year after that, and so on so forth. People behave as if history stops now, and it simply does not. People use to ridicule the idea that DDT killed birds, and caused cancer and birth defects, yet here we are. Just because you don't like change, or people who advocate for it does not mean that it will not happen.
