      I don’t know if that helps if the other people in the mob are shit and want to do shitty things tbh.

        I’m sorry to hear you live in such a shitty local community. Where I am most people are extremely friendly, supportive, and welcoming but I do live in a lower economic area so that generally helps ground people I find.

        Unfortunately building people up to being decent people is a different and more challenging task. We need to be looking at education reform and empowerment for people to become aware and responsible members of a society rather than individuals who rely on the state to do it all for them.

          I’m not talking from just my personal experience, that’d be a bit short-sighted.

            Oh well you should. You are only human, work on a human scale and improve your locale.

              That makes sense if you are only advocating for it for your specific community. I thought this was a larger change tbh.

                It is for everywhere. It is up to every community to improve themselves.

                Each small commune works to improve itself and co-operate with its neighbours as a greater whole.

                  But if you’re advocating it globally then shouldn’t you consider the global ramifications of what you’re advocating for? It seems you’re advocating for global change but just told me to focus on my local community instead of the overall effect, which feels strange.

                    I advocate for far more change than simply police. The global ramifications of all these things together is a positive, that’s why I advocate for them.

                    Global change through local action. I don’t see how this is so confusing?
