I don't think I've solved the worlds problems. But apathy is what's killing us and if we don't even try to put in the work to find solutions we won't find them. I'm not trying to speak in catchphrases and I'm not even sure which parts of my speech I'm referring to. Regardless of how you feel about it I'm going to keep putting in the work to politically motivate people to awaken to that our modern conveniences don't need to be as disposable as they are, that neocolonialism is sapping the world of its resources to enrich the 1%, and that we can't expect better if we don't do anything at all. I would love to hear your ideas too. But the biggest thing is we can't do better if we don't even think about how to do better. It all starts with envisioning a better world and then working towards that
There is a difference between apathy and complaining about something without any feasible solution. Other than that, again, more catchphrases.
Yet all you've done is complain. Also crazily enough, many of the things he said above can be put to scale.
I think we would all love to see your grandiose ideas and plans to help better humanity, or is your only plan to dissuade everyone from doing anything, so that you don't feel guilty for doing fuck-all?
Nothing you, or anyone else, write here matters. Nobody here will be a driver for change. Nobody here will introduce any change to how the world works. Great job assuming people have main character syndrome like you and have "grandiose ideas and plans to better humanity". You aren't "doing something" by arguing on a niche forum and throwing one-liners. None of your "plans" will be enacted.
Nothing you do may matter, but you are far from the only representation of this website.
Not one person on this website will change anything. And that's a fact. It's actually funny how you think there is some sort of messiah here that will become president or whatever. Won't happen. A single company doing it won't bring about change either.
No single drop of water considers itself responsible for the flood.
Your defeatist attitude rises to troll levels. None of your piss and vinegar will fill the hole in your heart you are desperately trying to fill.
Does being radioactive in anonymous forums give you a sense of power? Kinda sad. I hope whatever is hurting you in life gives you some relief, you seem miserable.
When losing the debate, resort to ad hominems. Good job buddy!
