There is no shortage of online shit posters who have some theory of how the world should work

Never said I knew the best way for the world to work. That's for everyone to figure out, together. I'm just trying to preach how the world ACTUALLY works. And how much of it is very illusionary or a scam. People could do one simple thing, and a new world would be born by Tuesday. But they either don't care, don't have the time or energy to care, or are victims of misinformation campaigns, which we all know are very prevalent now.

No shortage of that either. My point is you have some vague ideas like the rest of us and you can't even be bothered to point out what you're talking about specifically in your sea of memes and shit posts. Some people get involved in politics or run a charity or whatever. You shit post online and for some reason take a high horse that it's easy to solve the world's problems and the reason it doesn't work is the rest of the world's problem to figure out. Nice man, real helpful lol

Actually I have to agree with him here. I think anyone who has given it considerable thought and research understands that getting involved in politics or charity is noble but wont solve our issues with the magnitude of the problems at this point. The only way to solve the current era of greed and inequality would be to take action in ways that are unwise to speak about if unconfident in speaking precisely.

For sure, although he did have a good comment. And he’s right if you don’t end up doing anything. I would, but I’m too poor to take care of myself let alone supply the snacks to peacefully protest.

That's society working as intended.

Not a bug, a feature.
