    “Fix society’s problems”

    You didn’t want to start with something more modest like world peace?

      This is the kind of reply that pisses me off.

      You’re either ignorant, being facetious (and bad at it), or just plain a bad actor.

          Maybe start by advocating for better education for low-income individuals who have fallen prey to systemic cuts to their social aid programs and are prone to voting against their own interest due to being subject to propaganda their entire lives, thereby building a base of well-informed voters and community members who would then be more well-equipped to tackle and help tackle other issues around them- in their local community, but also on a national level.

          That’s just one thought.

          Your shitty “oh you didn’t wanna start with world peace” jab shows that you are either purposely trying to be an asshole, or you don’t understand that small changes lead to big ones. Obviously we’d start with world peace if that were an option, and I’d imagine it’s the other commenter’s end goal, but you can’t have world peace when it’s built on an inherently violent and broken system. Unless your definition of world peace is genocidal thought policing.

          Yes there are already solutions to pretty much all the problems we currently have, we just need to collectively decide to enact those solutions
