I'm sorry, but this is a silly take.
This is an issue with choices that individuals are making..
There are so so so many different ways to fuck up your life and they are not all because of "the system".
I could see the argument that underfunding education has led to there being a greater number of people who make poor choices... But that's about it.
Any issue where the answer is "every single individual doing that just needs to do the right thing" is not a valuable take when it comes to actually fixing those systemic issues.
Of course the problem would be solved if people all stopped doing it, we could end all war today if everyone just decided it was bad and refused, but that kind of thinking is never going to fix it because that's not how people work. They respond to the environment, and only by changing that environment can we make people choose differently on an individual level.
Great point. People have too much freedom, too many options. If we restrict what they can have access to, then we can protect them. People can't be trusted to make the right decisions for themselves. We need to reshape the system into a place where people can only expend resources as long as it benefits society. We need to demolish this system which empowers predatory dolls to take advantage of people.
Oh you're just a troll -_-
Uh, no. I'm using satire to show you the flaws in your argument.
