Then maybe don’t make your statements “Yes… but”, make them “Yes, and”. It makes it less about how you think people should be worried about your issues and simply brings up a related issue as well.

And, again, it’s not like people don’t care. Just like it’s not that people don’t care about the climate crisis, economic inequality, or health care… it’s just people only have so much energy to give. And the current systems we live in do not provide room for an overabundance of sharing it.

Or they think you’re using whataboutism to make it about an issue your personally care about instead of the still very real issue conveyed in the article.

“posing”

Which people? Pretty sure you’d find lots of people doing just that, mostly those who are criticizing policies like the one in the article as well.

I suppose, I guess I just dont use general reviews submitted to a site to get an idea of what a movie or show is like. I just never thought of any as worthwhile (to affect my opinions at least). IMDB is just what this post is about.

No shade meant, at least after the fact! 😅

You guys use IMBD for reviews?

It doesn’t need to be, no, but it will be, because we’re too busy pretending we can do something about it without organized action that is aided by an actually effective government producing actually effective regulation.

Direct disenfranchisement is a drop in the bucket compared to the willful lack of participation more than a third of the country participates in. If even half the people who decided to stay home every election day decided to try and participate, the entire contest would be a wash. It wouldn’t even be close.

But they don’t, because “the system is rigged and there’s no point in trying to fix it”.

And without those rich people making them, they have nothing to buy. They dont just magically appear for people to buy. That is a misconception (or misdirection, rather) with how consumer action works. You cant take action if the rich dont let you in those situations.

The wallet is only as powerful as the people who run your economy, and generally less so.

Because if you dont have some kind of regulation it ends up being about market forces, which has even less to do with the will of the people and more to do with what makes a very few people rich.

The main issue with government intervention isnt that “government bad”, it’s that those same few rich people have more influence on it than the will of the people. In a large part because those people would rather cede that power to them rather than make any kind of rational decision.

Its good that green energy is benefiting from market forces right now… but it’s a fair weather friend, and as soon as something else is more likely to make some rich asshole more money, it will be tossed back in the junk heap to rot.

If it were the people in power would actually listen to people with knowledge, like President Camacho did.

Its not necessarily that they cant, more that they dont want to.

That’s a load-bearing hump.
