"Object to cos you won't say how these laws are passed or enforced."

I'd prefer you to object to something because it's a bad idea, rather than because I don't have the theoretical or actual means to hand? It's pointless (hypothetically) figuring out how to get this big fuckoff stone in to that distant field without first knowing: A: Do we want a stone in that field and why. And B: Is having that stone in that field a bad idea.

"The best way to attack to improve things is by acting dfifferently, like a little role model (without being judgmental of others or feeling superior in any way)."

So would you be a role model and get locked up for dismantling a missile if you could have convinced a population to unite to outlaw the missile?

"And without being a leader, guru or equally wrong type of person. "

I leave that to politics and business, that's where the gurus are, and some weird cults.

" Be a meme and hope your mentality catches like a virus. Don't even think about improving what we have. It'll only lead to more bloodshed and BS."

Everything we say from honesty improves what we have. As for memes, they are useful but also are propagandist, so I'm wary of the same message being repeated over and over. Honest inquiry is sometimes better. I started this thread becaue I was conscious of a meme "capitalism is the cause of all the world's evil". I thought that was lazy, and even more dangerous when we are at the brink of consumer sponsored fascist eruption. And I just like debating.

"Yes, living outside the system is completely impossible. But attempting to is very pretty to watch, and worthwhile for that reason alone. Kicking the bastards when they do evil, holding a mirror to them, thats all any of us can sensibly do."

So leave it as it is and complain a bit?

(OOOYAH!)
