I agree with you, but what exactly are we supposed to do? This is why Luigi has had such a positive reaction online despite the brutality of what he did, it actually had an impact…but the vast majority of people aren’t killers yet civil actions have not been working. We are all stuck.

the vast majority of people aren’t killers yet

Keep backing people into a the corner of poverty, homelessness, hunger and helplessness and that will eventually change.

The majority of Americans bought the bullshit of cheap gas and eggs, lock, stock and barrel. Wait until they find out.

You don't have to kill people. Do something, anything. Don't just sit at home. Start working on issues as local as you can, educate yourself, start shit... You're the epitomy of "I tried nothing and nothing worked". You believe that writing a message online is the only way to change things.

[–] errer 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This attitude is incredibly naive and the reason why nothing has actually changed. You think stirring shit at your local city council does anything? You think you can actually convince anyone to do anything else? The system is way more powerful than you and there’s nothing you can do about it.

Do what you think is best but do something, don't just write stuff online and feel like you've accomplished something.
