Ok, so obviously no one here has done anything to make this world what it is. Wall Street, corporations, and racist social structures are why the world is how it is, and that is just the truth.

I don’t understand why I should feel bad about anything when obviously all of these rich assholes and structures of oppression exist. I didn’t make them.

Until the corporations and wealthy people change, why should I feel guilty or bad about things. This literally isn’t my fault, they did this, so I just feel like I should be able to live my life and not have to worry about all this. Why can’t I?

    The corporations and wealthy people won’t change by themselves, only large groups of people can overthrow these types of centralized power systems.

      Ok so until those large groups of people overthrow the structures of power… that just sounds like saying “it takes 13 powerful mages in a circle chanting the anti-power incantation.”

      It’s like, ok… but?

        Go read a history book. The French revolution is a good place to start, but these kinds of things have happened hundreds of times in history.
