I agree that the Cornell situation is not really an example of someone being a good ally. It's more like "man barges in and expects to 1) fix everything and 2) receive cookies for doing so." And I totally hear you on reality making you angry. But I also tend toward working within the systems we have, rather than smashing the system and starting over, because the former seems to be the fastest way to effect change in the here and now. On the other hand, working for incremental change in the short run can sometimes work against seeing big changes in the long run, so maybe we always need people who are willing to do both. Definitely not an easy problem.
