    And how would you propose we do such a thing? Because if “just overthrow the government” was that easy, Donald Trump would be president right now.

        Lots of people admit there’s a problem. That doesn’t answer my question.

              Easier said than done:

              1. Admit there’s a problem
              2. Find a sustainable solution
              3. Fight for the solution
              4. Enjoy a better society

              I think many people don’t realize they focus too much on short-term issues, which are actually symptoms of deeper systemic problems. For instance, the two-party system in the US stems from election campaigns not being publicly funded and also the “winner-takes-all” electoral system instead of proportional representation. I would bet you already know about these issues but still I don’t see them being discussed in media and that’s where every big change must begin. And that’s also what I think should answer your question. Instead of spreading awareness of the current problems at hand, you should focus on the deep issues and instead spread awareness of them. That’s my opinion at least.

                Nothing I do will have any effect on what the corporate-run media reports on and it’s naive to think any of us who aren’t corporate executives or their political cronies have that power.

                That’s a long-winded way of saying you don’t actually have an answer for how to, as you put it, “refuse to allow unnecessary amputations to continue.” You could have saved yourself a lot of time.

                    Immediately after you told that so-called fortune:

                    So why are you now lying and claiming I didn’t admit there’s a problem? It’s a pretty silly lie.
