Everyone says this kind of stuff about any and every social issue. It drives me insane, do people not realize that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy? If everyone I heard say “there’s no point fighting it” got together and fought it, they’d easily win.
I see this a lot in discussions about climate change lately: country X is polluting just as much or more than us so we shouldn’t do anything. This argument makes no sense.
I’m genuinely curious, who exactly do you think will do the fighting?
Cuz I can tell you who will be the first pushed forward, and that’s young men and women. I can’t speak for women so I won’t. However, not sure if you’ve noticed, but we’ve got several generations of young men that have been taught that they are literally everything that’s wrong with everything and are treated like it. What exactly would those young men be fighting for?
Of course they’re defeatist. They have been trained to be.
Took me a long time to break out of the programming. I feel you.
It helps to understand that the phrase “you have value; you are worthy” is objectively true. It’s not a matter of opinion. It is a fact. You are a sentient person, therefore you matter. You are deserving of dignity, respect, and love. Anyone who says otherwise is just wrong. It’s like saying 2+2=5. They’re just not correct.
We need to address this on a societal level. And not via right wing douchebros.

Stop licking Andrew Tates balls.
They give you bad breath and stupid ideas
I hate Andrew Tate, that changes nothing about what I’ve said.
