one man’s utopia is another’s dystopia This is true, but there are universal goods that anyone who isn’t antisocial can agree on like a livable climate, everyone having food, shelter, and safety. At least I choose to believe that. I get the point about parents and long-term thinking. That’s a whole thing, they are making it so hard to just live that you’re so busy and tired just doing the daily struggle lots of people don’t have time to think or plan or organize.

If you want to improve things you can’t wait around for a good moment or depend on the involvement of the depoliticized and hopeless to join in. You can just do things. There are other people doing things, too and you can find them. The change you make can inspire some others too, but the disaffected will always be frustrating to see and deal with. There will always be more to do but the thing is to keep trying to move toward the ideal even if it’s just by inches and there’s miles to go, it’s the long haul
