Hope is all well and good, but you're expecting too much if people can't even show up for the bare minimum.

Which is why I like to focus on the fundamentals of democracy first. Teach people how to learn and get them to show up to vote when they should.

We all need to accept the fact that some things won't change in our lifetime for the better. So showing up to vote in a "hopeless" vote in an election where the opposition "always" wins is super important. You can't chip away at that shit if you don't vote.

That said, my hopes are for a future without wealth hoarding. Functional government who is not only responsible but accountable (up to and including with their lives) . Where art, science and education are the most respected vocations on earth.. but I'll most likely be long dead before a society like that exists again.. so for now I'll just add my tiny pebble to the mountain of change.
