      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.

                You didn’t let me down, because I knew you didn’t actually have an answer about how to actually achieve anything.

                If “solidarity” and “awareness” were all it took to solve problems, climate change wouldn’t be getting worse.

                You know what awareness and solidarity already resulted in? January 6th. You know what was a failure? January 6th.

                    You failed to convince me by not telling me what the next step would be.

                    Lots of large-scale solidarity movements in history have been built and failed. Sometimes disastrously so. You do not have the step after that, which is essential.

                    My point about January 6th is that it was a large-scale solidarity movement that tried to effect major change in terms of how presidents become presidents and failed. You seem to think everyone getting together and singing kumbaya would achieve for the left what they were unable to do when they actively tried.
