I'm not whining.and yes, I have contempt for people who shout about anti-capitalism, before going to work in Schuh, coffee shops or bars, while their rich mummy and daddy pay their rent for them. I knew plenty activists like that.
The arrogance of students thinking that they can change the world is often a natural reaction to finally having moved out of their parent's house. Many of them grow up to realise that they are unable to change the world quite as easily as they thought, and are quite happy with their workaday, non-vegan lives.
This is not just my opinion, it's supported by social psychological and sociological research.
As for 'doing nothing at all' yes, one might as well in the case of war. I can't think of any wars that stopped due to anti-war marches, student or otherwise.
