Yes, I suppose that is all any of us can do. Human nature being what it is, though, it would be nice to get some kind of positive feedback from one's efforts - to know that what you're doing is making some discernible difference.
I suppose that's asking too much, though. The difference may never be plainly or directly visible, and it may never be truly appreciated until some point well into the future.
In a battle of attrition like this, time is on our side. There are more defections from the right to our side than there are new recruits to theirs. Information does that. I don't want to confuse you, Orwell was a socialist anti-Stalinist who hated fascism and Hitler. Most people are unaware of this. On the right, they think he was John Wayne. He saw more combat than John Wayne, who never heard a shot fired in anger, for or against. I don't think Orwell would have thought much of John Wayne.
