I mean, {gestures broadly at everything}
with no clear answers
I can think of a few…
Livable wages, shorter hours, affordable housing, universal healthcare, cities designed around social interaction rather than everyone stuck in their cars all the time so people can actually make friends, less police violence, not being worried about getting shot on campus on the way to chem class…
Well those answers cost money. They want cheap clear answers that don’t cost much, like a pizza party.
Whoa whoa whoa - pizza costs money. We will do a potluck and require everyone bring their own food to share instead.
Man, I was talking to my wife about just this topic only moments ago. What does today’s youth have to look forward to? Jobs, politics, climate? We don’t even let them have a seat at the table and it’s their future. My conclusion: Humans are self-absorbed ass holes and it will be our undoing.
I strongly disagree with humans being self absorbed assholes. Capitalism promotes humans being self absorbed greedy assholes.
There are plenty of excellent examples of humans being selfless and working together in spite of a corrupt self-absorbed system.
The world is going to shit right no and a lot of stuff feels hopeless and like we have nothing to look forward to, but if we give up on our fellow humans then who can we work with to pull the world out of all this shit?
Uh huh. So you blame “capitalism” and not the people who invented it? Not the people who continue to put it above all else? To weaken restrictions in the name of more money and power for themselves? So we just need some magical construct to protect us from ourselves then I suppose… Because we aren’t the issue!
