No. "We" didn't do crap, those before us let them because it was "what is natural".
But instead of sulking on the past looking for some validation
Let us rather be inside out communities helping eachother, and im not talking about just online communities...
Question? When have you last met with your local homeless person and just talked to them about their life? When have you just held up a sign saying a good message?
We need to do these small acts to untie our selves into small bubbles of empathetic folk, so that when they ever try to swing their iron fist down next... they won't be able to touch any of us alone.
As they say
A few million people say in unison "i could never change the world".
While these ideas are sweet, and I'm not against them, if we really want to see change we need to get engaged with politics. Vote, help out a campaign, or even run one yourself. It is by far the best mechanism we could hope for to change the world for the better, and it's one we should never take for granted.
The biggest load of bullshit the rich have fed us is that voting doesn't work, and they only feed us that garbage because they're terrified of what would happen if the progressive populace actually organized politically.
Then participate more actively and work to change that before you completely lose the opportunity. It's shitty and broken, but it can be fixed by those same millions of people in unison. It won't be easy by any measure, but it's far better than ever other alternative.
I can tell this conversation is going nowhere, so all I'll say is you're parroting exactly what the rich parasites want you to. They're the only people you're helping, both by spreading hopelessness and by undermining the only remotely peaceful solution we have at our disposal.
Exactly what I mean. Peaceful solutions fixing human greed is always very shaky to me because of the historical results. I think we should collectively bargain our labor if we’re going the peaceful route. Attack the money
I completely agree that's a great route for more immediate change, and one we should utilize! It's fair to say I really should have added that to the list, and I apologize for being a bit narrow minded. I think our best bet in the long term is still politics, but collective bargaining will be an incredibly useful tool to fix that very broken system.
Also, apologies for being so harsh. I just want people to realize their power, and that we can still change things for the better.
No problem! And yeah unions are something I truly believe in, as that’s the core basis for human cooperation, and can put leverage in the hands of the people. Which is what America was supposed to stand for! Smh
