I'm in the UK for reference

i am so sorry

Most of my city is gang territory and the police have closed tons of stations, London has all the money, people are focusing on emotions and not looking racist more than actually tackling crime and other issues, and in general things are sliding downhill

hmm

get a gun

that sounds very familiar to how amsterdam is doing now btw (im from the NL)

dont pay your taxes

Well I do want to tackle the concept of “toxic masculinity” a bit wol. Because I could take concept you mentioned to such extremes that they are destructive instead of something as nice as what you mentioned.

I'm not gonna be another bitch who sings and stands around doing nothing. That's what inspired me to step up, yknow? Seeing all these fucking assholes singing a bit, acting fake-deep and then openly admitting that they're just doing it for drug money and girls

get a gun for self defense and to what ever you can to avoid paying taxes

fuck the system

No

Not fuck the system, FIX the system

Yes britain, terrorists blowing themselves up for their faith (because they see it as right) is a flaw in what i said

Anarchism is retarded and counterproductive

and antifa etc

system needs to be rebuilt

for that it needs to crash

It just leads to a kratocracy

corruption has grown roots into the gobt

No

Heres the main Issue though Cipher, You need a solution, not a goal

elections are slow

@Vigil well in that case, i'd just not try to worry too much about changing people or the world. still have the mindset of improving it in any way you can, but dont beat urself up over the fact that many people surrounding you dont have this vision.
i think its rare, maybe for your age or your enviroment.
try to find some like minded individuals, maybe start a book club, networking etc

A goal is a good starting point though

I feel you, Aghost

A solution... I'll get there. I still need to self educate to the point where I can start proposing solutions

a goal is bad, a goal is too vague and can become tainted

Well what is a solution without a goal then?

a solution without a goal is a fix 😉

I'm a nineteen year old who up until two years ago couldn't operate a toaster due to my overprotective mom, yknow? My knowledge is decent but I still need to learn practical skills and how the world works in order to not make things worse for the people I wanna represent

I'm not doing anything until I'm ready to do anything because I don't want to let myself or the people I wish to help down

Remember this:
Lefties think in goals (We must get equality, stop racism) but they don't know how, just "we must achieve X"
Right wingers think in systems (We must have freedom so ideas can roam) but thats not inspirational

Ultimately both sides want the same thing, Improvement, but one wants to find Any fix to one problem, and the other wants One fix to any problem


Neither will work together as a result, find a solution in which you can get both working together

hence its a SOLUTION

Yeah but if someone sets fire to a house without reason, is that a solution?

Either way, people have more common ground than they think; we all want better. So the key is to remind people we're mostly a well-meaning people

a solution needs a reason, but it doesn't need a goal

Give people faith in each other again

And make abhorrent anyone who stands in the way of rationality and peace

hehe i had an overprotective mom as well :P hehe somewhat
yeah its rough man, i dont know exactly how it affected you, but i feel like i havent been out confronting chaos enough
if thats the case for you as well, then you might wanna try putting yourself in unfamiliar situations to correct it slowly

But not in a fascisty way, in a "Okay come back to the fold when you grow up but otherwise don't get involved" way
