I sort of agree with you but the chance for that is over. I can't come up with a single way to change anything slowly at this point. We've had 46 years of pillaging the working class and now we're about to get nuked by an illegal IPO during the biggest bubble we've ever seen. Please help me understand how we'll have the option to change anything once Palantir rolls out the robot dogs next year.

    1. Stop consuming cynical media that feeds on your anxiety for engagement
    2. Go outside and connect with your neighbors
    3. Don’t complain about things being impossible to fix online until you’ve done steps 1 and 2

    You’re trying to frame me as someone who is being ableist, but you’re the one who’s saying autistic people can’t go outside and talk to people.

    I think they can, and it might be difficult, but it’s worth it.

    Ah yes, the "wish it, want it, do it" approach to societal change. Well played. /s

    I'm calling you naive, to be clear.

    Ah yes, the “complain on the internet but do nothing” approach, which is obviously more productive

    Oh by golly you're right! I'll be right out there with you. We'll sing a song, and if we're lucky, we can wish on a falling star and end world hunger!

    You’re misrepresenting what I’m saying into something that’s easier to argue against.

    I’m saying that the vast majority of people are comfortable enough (read: not literally starving) that they aren’t ready to go do something drastic. But they are annoyed enough to go do something less huge but still meaningful. I am encouraging people to go do that.

    I banded together with the other people in my building to get some rent concessions and force our landlord to fix shit they had left broken for months. It’s not overthrowing a fascist state, but it’s a start to working communally against a wealthier class.

    What have you done lately except yell at people who you mostly agree with but aren’t as cynical as you?
