I think our side should put more focus on the structures. If a system e.g. let’s Taylor Swift fly around in a private jet and even rewards her with more money from concerts and increased brand value, I can obviously still blame her (because she didn’t have to do it). But if I want things to change, I need to change the system.
Organizing is always the solution. Ideal world or not, how could you possibly change structures as an individual. Of course it is an uphill battle, but it’s still a battle we have to fight.
I’m not saying that organizing isn’t part of the solution. I’m saying, in this world, getting organized to a degree that it would help is near impossible.

But how do you change a system in which everyone capable of changing the system won’t do it because they would lose power?
The small guys are capable of changing the system by organising. We greatly outnumber them.
But the big guys have the propaganda machine on their side and the channels for distribution.
So organizing seems to be the solution in an ideal world. But we don’t live in an ideal world.

better to try and fail than not try at all
Gotta try.

Built in plausible deniability ;D
France, of all countries, taught it can be done.
Never doubt the people who discovered snails make fine cuisine.
Replace those who wouldn’t change the system, by force. Some guillotines can do the job.
