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?
