    The problem here is that you’re attributing to apathy what should be attributed to the shit show people are dealing with already. Life is so grand, that we need 2 full-time working parents to get by, and barely keep head above the water. People aren’t apathetic, they’re drowning. That’s the whole purpose behind it. If people are too busy trying to just stay alive, how are they supposed to also fight for justice?

    That’s why the only people who are generally fighting for this justice are those that are middle to upper class with plenty of free time. Because nobody else has the god damn time. They could lose everything they worked for just by joining the fight. The system has been set up that way.

      Fight for yourself? Or is that also impossible? People don’t know the power they have together, and the elites won’t give up peacefully. Most western people could do something, they just don’t want to or are ignorant of how they could act. The only real problem is that capitalists who control everything will try to stomp out any organisation of things (such as unions or protests), which is why force and/or non-cooperation is needed.

        Did you even read what I said…People can’t fight because they can barely fucking survive.

          Just not true though. Anything to not be accountable or responsible, I guess. You would only need max 1% of the population anyway. Most people won’t stand in your way, and if you have food + a place to live you are good enough for the downtime.
