You're NOT reducing harm, you're steadily increasing harm when most of our problems could be easily solved by ending harm.
That's the issue, really. People won't get behind anything new or radical etc., so the options usually are "getting worse slowly" or "getting even worse right now", and picking that latter is not better than the first one. What's the solution? Fuck if I know, but allowing the latter to happen cannot be it
You're acting like Barn Raising is new or radical. Ya didn't use to need to go into a lifetime of debt so bankers could live in luxury, the whole village would pitch in, get together and build a house for you.
I don't disagree at all, but looking at the state of the world right now, even building that damn barn appears to be too radical for way too many people. Selfishness and greed are the virtues of today it seems
Improved. But yeah, the privileged constantly endeavor to violently maintain their privilege.
Exactly. By assuming the harm will carry on, these people consent to it
OK, please elaborate on how having some but not all people get out of the shit-hole is not reducing harm. Oh, wait, it's not even "not reducing harm", it's "steadily increasing harm"!
