    Then what is the solution? What’s your alternative? It’s not third parties, that has never worked. The solution is somewhere around a general strike or civil war, and we all know you aren’t brave enough. Most aren’t. There’s not enough people capable or willing enough to band together to force change en masse when it’s required.

    So you’ll point out how stupid it is to keep doing the same, you’re not wrong, but there’s also no viable alternative for the average person.

    So…shrug?

      The solution is radical activism.

      There will be no change without great personal risk, and you’re right, of the heart isn’t in it, it isn’t going to happen. It takes a significant amount of marginalisation before people collectively rise up and break things. It’s that going to happen tomorrow? No probably not. But if the teens continue as they have, it will eventually happen.

      A thriving middle class will put up with a tremendous amount of bullshit to keep their happy little lives. Marginalized people with nothing to lose are much quicker to action, and we’re building consecutive generations who will have nothing to lose from radical action.
