Very serious "whataboitism" here. People can care about more than one thing. Different people in societies can care and want to work on different things.

  What are you personally doing to solve any these problems? Are you pressuring your representatives in any way? Reading articles and posting scolding messages doesn't really accomplish anything. It just makes us feel like we did.

      I've called my representative on several issues. State, local and federal. Called the local news on school COVID coverup too. They actually went to the school to check it out. What do you do to actually try to solve things as a citizen? Snark?

        Glad to hear it. I don't think many users are particularly interested in posts saying that the topic of the discussion thread is not worth discussing because there are so many other topics. Maybe go find the threads where your comments are more on-topic.

          Do you not recognize the moral panic / righteousness undertone of this article and what it's designed to do? I feel my comments are very much on topic. This is a modern "D&D might be Satanism" article. I mean the NYT can publish stuff like this and still claim it's, "all the news that's fit to print." But I can disagree.

            I certainly recognize your attempt to reframe your previous comments as actually addressing the content of the article, even though they were mostly "sure there's [this], but what about [not this]?". Talking about an article's "undertone" and "what it's designed to do" as though those things are not completely subjective simply does not convince. And thank you very much for the laugh you gave me when you compared D&D scaremongering to the literal exploitation of children.

              Your self-righteous messaging certainly fills the room.
