        Until you stop billionaires from happening you won’t solve anything. Remove the source of all of the shit and things will get better

          Great way to rid yourself of responsibility. Sadly, nothing ever got achieved by being smart. Doing things is what is necessary.

          Therefore yes, billionaires must go, of course. But they wont go until we take action. So my point still stands. Read the book.

            I’m not sure how you can spread the responsibility so far down? I’m at fault while I have almost no power? I’m not saying do nothing, I’m saying do the thing that matters, like remove these cunts from the world. That’s our responsibility as a species if we want to continue living

              If you would read the book, they explain the point you are trying to make in the first couple of pages.

              You have your opinion of how stuff should be done. But that doesnt mean everyone else needs to do it your way. Thats how we got into this mess.

              Also very good analogy in the book: if you vote or not is your decision, plain and simple. But voting takes a couple minutes on average. If you want change, you can hang up a poster or print some flyers or take a megaphone, depending on what you‘re comfortable with.

              I come from a country where people used to be put in gas chambers because the responsibility didnt reach far enough down and right now, that same country is going that exact route again.
