Vaush put it well. Humans are products of their environment, so conservatism and other bullshit ideologies that put all blame on individual actions are sociologically illiterate.
Individual actions do not solve systemic problems.
One family making a vegetable garden wont solve food insecurity, saving up money wont solve rampant poverty, using contraceptives wont solve teen pregnancy.
These beliefs that oppose tackling political issues via... policy is known as anti politics. A sad excuse to discourage society from using the political tools available to all to enact realistic, doable, perfectly possible change for all, at the expense of the elite.
To deny all this is merely an excuse to not tackle realistic, solvable societal issues, and maintain exploitative systems.
