You blaming people trapped in a system, for the system, instead of blaming those who create and profit from said system, is you buying in to propaganda exactly like the people you blame, you're just on a different branch of the force feeder (the "I think I'm better than other people for buying a metal straw to drink my starbucks with as I ignore the systemic issues" smelling your own farts branch).
It is you who are lazy (and/or uncomfortable, or scared) to look at the actual cause of the problem, so instead you dismiss people with irrelevant slurs to make yourself feel superior as you do absolutely nothing to address the actual problem
An argument which could have been brought forward in a way which would have been outside the very system you describe. Why resort to personal attacks? Did you feel offended?
As for the question at hand: Do what you can, continue the movement. Ask for better. A part of the problem is that those who can make (bigger) changes have nothing to loose by not changing. Why is that?
Most of us has the ability to change one thing in our life/work which would be better. Let's change that one thing. If everyone here does, it will be thousands of changes.
Consider: if you were to receive a message like you just sent, would it be likely to have changed your mind? Especially if you weren't you now, but like the you from let's say ten years in the past? It's just a thought, I hope you find it interesting.
Just chiming in.
It would not. Because as long as your brain is brainwashed and full of shit, nothing is going to change. Specially something that goes against your "own believes" !
You need to fully "reset" your state of mind, either through DEEP meditation, some psychedelics or whatever does the trick to clean up the wired mess your brain is continuously exposed to (pollution, processed food, animals being held in concentration camps, hate, TV, right & left, ........).
It's the question of "red" or "blue" pill during your life time. That will either break your mental construction/barrier and give you a glimps of what those shadows are in plato's cave allegory or just stay a captive of your own mind/knowledge of the shadows you're looking at.
Those who seek, find.
Those who ask questions, eventually find answers.
Shrooms may be a shortcut, but the important thing is being RECEPTIVE to what they offer, I would wager.
My two cents anyway:-D.
Nope. I'm blaming society for letting the system crumble to satisfy motorheads and the vroom-vroom cult. A decent society would have long ago cut this bullshit off, but we're not a decent society are we? We let you roam about unshackled, for example.
