What do you say to people who think that making things better is naive and delusional?
(hexbear.net)
You know, the types who think leftism is unrealistic and pure utopian idealist fantasy
I don't understand these types. The type that seem to sneer at the idea of making the world a good place. If it were up to them we wouldn't build shelter from the rain or invent cures for diseases. When the world is shitty, you make it less shitty, that's the whole point of life or you might as well be miserable and live like a cow who has made peace with the slaughterhouse instead of trying to escape it.
I'm tired of people who pathologise good things and have a weird boner for hardship
"The world sucks. Grow up and leave rebelling against reality behind!"
I'm tired boss
It depends on the reason why they think it's unrealistic. Can you actually show them evidence of what they can do to make the world a better place? Right here, right now. Not hypothetically, not historically, but materially right here, can you grab them by the hand and guide them to how to make the world a better place?
I think asking: "If the world can be made a better place, then why haven't I been able to put forward a noticeable effort in doing so?" Is a lot more proactive. You have to start with yourself.
We live in a world where victims are made to put up a show, to entertain, lest they be deemed below the worth of an animal. Or does none of this matter and we're conditioned, by the system, to waste our life away arguing with each other, instead of building something together? At the end of the day everybody's a liberal and will choose their flavor of the flock.
