I think they meant, like, practical actionable paths, not like 'I'm playing a Sim and everyone does what I say'. Perhaps they were trying to think about what people could do in the real world that we actually live in
all paths are practical and actionable, if you take action. but thats a you issue not a me or others issue. someone recently showed you a path to take that is effective and simple to do on your own. you're just not willing to consider it.
Your definition of practical and mine differ. For me, a path that makes my life considerably worse is not a practical path. I would assume the same is true for you, you're just unable to admit it.
na you're just making assumptions instead of reading what is actually said. I have not made a statement about what paths I personally support, only that unless you take action personally non-sense about the practicality of a particular idea is self defeating. there are always challenges and struggles the point is to surmount them not wallow in self pity. again pointing to a personal issue with the person claiming impracticality. not with the person proposing and ideally taking action on a path.
I don't see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it's a matter of 'violence costs lives' and you don't change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don't without organised and persistent violence
uh huh and what side of the fence is that? and what side am I on apparently? and who precisely is wallowing in self pity?
uh huh, and who are most people in this situation? because most people seem very fine with mr thompsons death. otherwise the media moguls wouldn't be spending their breath trying to tell people it wasnt okay.
I dunno, you're the one who talked about it. Don't ask me what you mean, lol, not my fault if you don't understand yourself
ah sorry 8 days ago. ;) my point about self-pity was in reference to your original assertion about there not being realistic paths forward. didnt mean to imply anyone here was. point was that just because you dont consider a path realistic doesn't mean it isnt.
