I think people are busy and they need an incentive to prioritize their political engagement. I agree that guilt is a bad motivator and something else would be better.
Still, not wanting to handle guilt seems to be a core mechanism in influencing people. If that’s how the population is controlled then the left would have to figure out how to handle it to win back influence.
I think people need something simple to get them started.
Just look at Stop Killing Games. We can argue whether it’s a distraction (bread and circuses) or a powerful precedent for public participation and software rights, but either way it managed to collect over a million signatures and we can learn something from it.
Are people waiting to do things?

Anything would do. But how would people stay committed? Stop Killing Games hasn’t grown into a political movement.
One step at a time, I guess? Not sure. There are probably better experts than me with more experience, who have probably written books about it.
Obviously there is none with a working answer. Maybe you know it.
None with a working answer that has been implemented globally, yes. But some might have one that has yet to be implemented.
By now wouldn’t it be known? An idea that works should gain popularity on social networks.
I wouldn’t be so sure about that.
