Oh cool, we’ll just solve all other problems first, yeah? What’s your timeline on that? A couple months? A year?
This is about money.
This is about a business model.
This is about a business model that’s infecting a multi-billion-dollar industry. It’s plenty important.
“Just don’t buy it!” has done absolutely fucking nothing to stop this infection. I’m not-supporting-it as hard as I can, and hey guess what, systemic problems cannot be blamed on individual action. If only we had some mechanism for collectively handling those issues.
It’s never gonna happen. That’s my point. And where did I blame “individual action” here? I’m on your side on this one, bud. I’m just being realistic about it.
That’s not what Fatalism is, pointing out what can realistically be done isn’t “blaming”, and this is a Lemmy comment thread. All there is here is time wasting.

Fatalism is dull, and “just don’t buy it” is individual action.
“Tough shit, nothing will happen” is not being on anyone’s side. Empty pessimism is a waste of everyone’s time.

It’s not realistic, it’s not all that can be done, and insisting we’re simply fucked is absogoddamnlutely what fatalism is.
