The problem is the entire system we operate under.
It needs to be destroyed and replaced with something new because as it stands it’s unequal to the core and has no self-interest in fixing its abuses of power.
It’s delusion to think that any effort to change the system is in vain and we might as well tune out in despair. We are both saying the same thing, but I refuse to give in to cynicism and not make an effort, even if the chances of making meaningful change are meager.
The system is working as designed, it cannot be changed. It needs to be replaced entirely. Just as we didn’t change monarchies, we beheaded them and put in something better
I agree:
-The system cannot be changed from within, because it simply will never allow it. Capitalism will co-opt EVERYTHING, including subcultures AGAINST capitalism. That is why you can now buy ripped clothing in stores.
-We only beheaded a very few monarchists (France mostly). The others are still there mostly, embedded in whatever “modern” system ostensibly replaced them. Look at the UK, Belgium, Thailand, … Even countries that turned republics still have Rothschilds and the like in their governments, even though they were “elected”.
There’s a quote from Ursula K LeGuin about how the ancient Right of Kings seemed inescapable, and that we will one day do the same with capitalism. I don’t believe in it, because capitalism is much more sinister and capable than the old monarchies ever were.
You need to recognise the problem before you can fix it.
That’s not recognizing the problem, that’s just cynicism.

Pretending it’s not our reality is delusion.
