How are people supposed to solve these issues if they don't feel like the current system is beyond reform? Defending the status quo will bring us nowhere.
And "Just do something" is a shit take unless you can figure out how to solve the problems without the chaos caused by destroying the system with nothing to take it's place or to fill the vacuum left behind.
So many problems are exacerbated by well meaning people who want to 'just do something's with no concept of the consequences or the knock-on effects of their actions.
Good thing I'm not arguing for "just do something", then
No, you're arguing for destroying the system and not commenting at all on the shit that I'm pointing out, so yeah, you're at 'do something' in my eyes. And between that and that I'm out of give a shit for this conversation, I'm out.
Good day
As if these issues can be easily solved in a lemmy comment by some rando on the internet. How entitled can one be?
