Upvoted because I agree in part, but if there is no ethical move left on the board we are doomed, and I don’t believe that. I believe that we can radically transform our nations for the better. Look at Mamdani in NY and Zack Polanski and Fiona Lally in England - or more importantly, the movement growing around them. The problem as I see it is that we are distracted (entertained, busy) and divided (ideology / misinformation). We do need a revolution, though. And by-the-numbers “leadership” isn’t doing it.
You can create localized pockets of sanity in the madness, but the system is structurally designed to never let them have broad enough support to affect the scale of change needed. Given the design of our system, it actually takes generations of concerted effort to fully realize that scale of change. It assumes the luxury of time.
True. I suppose there is a lot that needs changing: FPTP, lobbying in politics, insider trading, media reform, algorithm regulations … I’m only scratching the surface.
