"I'm such a douchebag entitled narcissist so I'm going to plug my ears and go 'na na na this is fine' as the system destroys EVERY GODDAMN FUCKING FACET of society and whatever future these 'teenagers' may have. BUT IT'S THE TEENAGERS THAT ARE TO BLAME, RIGHT?"
Get off your fucking high horse. Jesus fucking christ dude.
Yeah also don't understand that any system involving humans is never going to be perfect because people will find a way to screw it up. That doesn't mean you give up on improving it of course, more the opposite. Every system will constantly require effort to improve or it will degrade over time.
There is no such thing as a perfect system, but that means there will always be ways to improve the existing system, no matter what the existing system is. The "tear it down and start over" mentality makes people useless in efforts to actually make things better. Perfect is the enemy of good.
I never experienced another system and have come to the gradual realisation that the current system is inherently exploitative, values some people above others, and leaves very little hope for a future as it continues to render the planet's surface less habitable by the year. My solution: let's tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.
My solution: let's tear the system down before it tears all of us down with it.
"...without having any clue about what comes next, blindly hoping that it will rule out injustice and inherent exploitation although there is no precedence or vision by anyone."
This is not a fix. It's calling to kill the complete herd for a few sick animals while others take enormous efforts to find a cure.
People fail to realize that socialism isn't just an ideology but a process. It involves looking back at previous attempts and learning from their mistakes and improving.
Hey, you cut it out with that education! How are people supposed to falsly believe that socialism is China or Russia or Vuvuzela if you go around explaining how it's not?
Versus doing nothing? Lemmy is fucking ass lately, shitting all over hyperbole while rolling over and letting capitalism and pessimism run your sorry, sad fucking lives.
Well, nothing where a human is in charge. I'd rather let Bing AI take the wheel. AI isn't greedy or ambitious for one so no need to go full totalitarian like every single revolution.
It's a glass-half-full, glass-half-empty situation. Both viewpoints are correct. The question is: which is easier? Fixing a broken system or destroying the system and creating a new one?
If I'm not mistaken, the usual cycle seems to be dismantling an existing system due to grievances unaddressed, seeking a consolidation of power, or other political machinations, attempts at forming & establishing new systems for a period of time, until eventually some system emerges that manages to survive for some time but its persistence is not assured.
At least in the US is proveably isn't working as intended. Section 1983 of the federal code was illegally modified in 1874 by one person that had no authority to do so. That revision is what "decided" Harlow V Fitzgerald in 1982. That case should have found that the 1871 Congress had outlawed any immunity from prosecution for civil servants of any kind.
This is also similar to how "corporate personhood" became a legal fictive, yet legal precedent.
The system isn't working as intended at all, and the consequences of those two minor "revisions" has allowed the rich to buy the government.
