Okay but [current system] can't fix it therefore it's unsolvable, and you're [insult] for trying.

As a liberal, literally the only thing I can conceive of doing is to vote for people who are making it worse within the legal bounds of a sham democracy established by a genocidal imperialist nation
I guess if contributing to the bad things makes me bad, then there's literally no other thing that I can do because it might cause me a modicum of personal discomfort
Wow, can't believe they removed my comment just for defending the leaders of a genocidal regime. So much for le debate(tm)
[comment proudly declaring I do the harmful thing along with some weak rationalization]
[Removed comment talking it one step further and suggesting we should do more of the harmful thing]
My inbox the very second the comment is removed for suggesting we do harmful things.
uhm yea actualli i kinda like harmful thing in this one specific instant when no one is looking and no one is harmed
tru. actualli i think harmful thing isnt so harmful after all when you think about it that way. just because its harmful sometimes doesnt mean it's always completely harmful. i personally havnt been harmed. im sure its just being talked about like its harmful and actualli pretti harmless
yeaaa ur totalli right.
also the harmed people... well they kinda deserve it, dont they? its fine being harmful to harmful people i feel
As a person who is not one of the Being Harmed People, I can confidently declare that I have not personally experienced harm so I guess it's not so bad
Yeah, those people who experience harm really need to empathize with us who don't and the minor inconvenience we'd face if we grappled with harm. Think of the messaging!
This is a Lemmy simulator post
But poor people don’t have the financial capacity to stop doing [harmful thing]
So therefore, I as a privileged upper middle class person, refuse to not do the [harmful thing].
Spoiler
I like calling this sort of “I can still use my monster truck because poor people can’t afford to not buy fast fashion.” broken logic, “solidaritywashing”.
Pretending to be empathetic to marginalised people but using it to perpetuate inequalities.
