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

    I’m calling you naive, to be clear.

        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?
