The choice is not between fixing everything and doing nothing.
The choice is between doing nothing and doing what you can within your limited, fallible, human means.
Even the giants of history have failed to fix everything, but even small people have managed to make a difference.
The problem is that too many people capable of making a difference don't even try.
- tw25585624 6y agoI wasn't suggesting doing nothing, nor was I suggesting fixing everything. I was critiquing your trite suggestion to "get involved in politics." What? Vote? Write letters? Bitch on the internet? All that does is make people feel better about the system as it rolls over them. The system has more power over our lives than at any other time in history because people act in the ways the system permits them to act. I don't have the answers, but for sure it isn't going to be more of the same.
