The nagging is the bare bones minimum that we could do and, as such, it has little impact by itself. (but could if everybody did it).
Couple it something like protesting like Americans used to do during the civil rights era – ie the opposite of no kings rallies – and you get the same winning combination that Mexico had in 2017 – which lead them to permanently breaking up their own political duopoly and giving them president Sheinbaum.
I’m not a fan of the nagging partially because it’s a last ditch effort but I can appreciate that’s the only step you can take to get people to do what morality, responsibility, and basic human deceny requires them to do.
The other reason I don’t like nagging is because it’s clear by that point that you will not be convinced by reason or logic. Instead, history proves that nature has a way of forcing things and either climate change or catastrophic economic bubble is going to do a better – and significantly more painful – job than the nagging ever will do.
