I'm so angry!
Do you find those online ranters annoying? The serial protesters. Do some just take it too far?
Some causes are popular, others not. ie, Pro Palestinian versus against antisemitism.
(Shouldn't be any reason why people can't support both. Jews worldwide are not responsible or even support, what the Israeli government does. It's like saying all Westerners worldwide are responsible for the actions of the American Government).
Hence this poem, which was actually written in 2018 and nothing to do with the aforementioned example. It's part of it anyway. What matters in your interpretation.

No Hawkers Please
Survey Wreckage
No need to record
evidence
Imprinted like an
engraved tablet.
A mish-mash
attempt
At a human Undo
That can never be.
Undercover of
darkness
And booze
There’s no
recourse
No recriminations
A mere
satisfaction
In stirring the
pot
Grinding hypocrisy
Under heel.
Until tomorrow
Brings the sting
of daylight
Eradicating
shadows
Leaving no
hideaway.
Popularism
survives
And in the end
I lost
Truth, context
And the
Individualistic way
Not Required Here.

When I was young, I was also very idealistic. That's normal for many young people. I saw the world in black and white. Very pro Gay, anti-apartheid, pro-Aboriginal people, anti-nukes, etc. Many protests too.
(I still care about those issues of course. It's not the point).
I'm a Humanist, rather than set on any particular agenda. Whenever there's injustice or someone suffering, I feel for them or that issue. Some are very hardcore on a particular theme, and neglect to be aware of their own hatred of others, or the injustice that might occur in carrying out their agendas. Like the example mentioned at the top.
Far right and far left extremism are the same. Some issues are very apparent yet the world is more grey than extreme. There's more than one side. There's twenty. The media rarely go into detail or present more than one side. (I've worked in news and current affairs so aware of how much research etc is actually done, and how each media outlet, especially today, are biased towards a particular political leaning).
It's such a big topic, and you have you're own viewpoint and perhaps that's getting away from the poem which is really about individual thought, so will just leave it at that.
Now I'm going on. Is that a rant? Ha ha God I hope not. 🙂
