More people feel as if they are making progress because they associate acknowledgement with acceptance.

As long as there is no universal goals with no leaders to focus the various movements it will continue to be a nationwide series of photo opportunities with a lot of needless repetition and no blueprint. These small victories that people claim are leading to what? It's still business as usual with an occasional disruption.

I believe that it actually boils down to two things. People are no longer willing to be really uncomfortable in order to accomplish a long-range goal without a guarantee that it will happen in X amount of time; and people are not willing to trust anyone to lead them if they feel that their ideas or methods differ. Those being led must have humility, trust, and be willing to compromise. These days those who have the ability to lead are being torn down by the envy and jealousy of those around them who can't. They put up unnecessary roadblocks to keep the leaders from leading.

So we want to bring down the current leaders but we don't trust leadership enough to allow anybody to lead us. We are ok with local leadership but become suspicious of anybody whose message appeals to too many people and gets too widespread, even if it's the same message.
Let someone rise through the ranks. By the time s/he reached a place where s/he could change things on a national level s/he would have to deal with the people they started with attempting to discredit them.

Any leader that shows up will probably come from a religious institution of some sort. Not because they are any more qualified but because they already have a strong base of people who are willing to be led and most of them are willing to elevate their leader to the next position, at least for awhile anyway.

You can't develop a strong, active following over social media. What type of following is more active than one that shows up at least once a week, month after month, year after year, that not only isn't paid to do so but donates their money for the privilege of that person's time/knowledge without coercion?
