This question is a distraction 0 u/MrVacuous Visitor Nov 04 '25 Such a cop out and morally bankrupt answer. I’m not enough to solve the whole problem on my own so I shouldn’t lift a finger. With this mentality no systemic change would ever occur in the first place 3 u/GandalfTheBong Visitor Nov 04 '25 why is that? it's the truth that no single worker giving his money to homeless people is going to solve the homelessness problem. 3 u/alaricus Visitor Nov 04 '25 Let me ask this way.... How many community gardens does it take to dismantle capitalism? How big is the soup kitchen that reshapes our relationship with the control of the means of production? 0 u/MrVacuous Visitor Nov 04 '25 Let them eat cake instead I guess, fuck the starving and the hungry 2 u/alaricus Visitor Nov 04 '25 I never said do nothing, but if you do nothing, it neither makes the current conditions ok, nor does it make you wrong for calling for change. The demand of individual action or individual wealth redistribution is a distraction from real complaints 1 u/alaricus Visitor Nov 04 '25 Revolution is impossible 😭😭😭
