Your three replies to me keep talking about how things “are.” I’m talking about how that’s fucked up and has no excuse to be that way. Your comments are not providing “nuance,” you’re providing tired excuses that I’ve already heard ad nauseam.
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE EXCUSES. 80% OF AMERICANS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO TRANSIT, AND THE FACT THAT A LOT OF THEM DON’T IS WRONG.
The suburbs were a mistake, and must be fixed. The “it is what it is” argument is nothing but a lazy goddamn cop-out. I don’t fucking want to hear it, and you shouldn’t either! Demand better.
If you don’t want to hear other people’s opinions, then you will never get your way. You will always be unhappy. Nothing will ever be good enough. People want to be heard. They like validation. And they definitely follow emotion before logic. But you can’t change the system without the help of other people, even people you don’t 100% agree with.
I speak from the heart and I speak with empathy. I FEEL YOU. I’m frustrated, too. I’m fed up.
Through the last few years, I’ve been thinking about moving out of the country. In terms of places that I can make a better life for myself, the pickings are slim. The USA isn’t the best country out there, but it’s not the worst by far. I’m openly LGBTQ, which automatically limits my options. I don’t have a lot of money, so Western Europe is too pricey. Etc, etc…but, yeah, eventually I’ll pull the trigger and just leave.
You want to convince people how wonderful things would be if only we do it your way? Then run for office. Seriously. If you are this passionate about changing the status quo, if you are 100% sure that your way is the right way, that’s what you should be doing. Change the world for the better, my friend, even for a brief moment. It’s more than I’ve been able to accomplish in a lifetime.
