You should show more respect for the power of ideas to change human perspective.  Look at the history of the woman's Sufferage movement, at the Abolitionist movement, at the history of the cold War.  It's not that this particular thread, or that particular thread, will change a policy or a TOS; but that the cumulative weight of ALL the threads, like drops of water falling upon the hardest granite,  together will wear away resistance, and bring about change.
And even if they don't, at least we raised our voice, and didn't passively acquiesce to this usurpation of our RIGHTS to be the sole guardian of conscience, and to self expression.

Amen. There is the justification for every voice saying "Not me, you won't!" The world is full of compromises that degrade and acquiesences that perpetuated evil. Let the Neville Chamberlains peddle their piece, but don't buy.
