The future is changeable as more people get involved to change it
I think it's Capitalism.
More people need to refuse enacting the jobs we all know are ruining the world.
If you're building anything for a billionaire, from a mine, to a yatch, to a compound, to an AI data center: FUCKING QUIT LOUDLY.
...and we need more jobs in areas tht help the world. Planting plants, checking wildlife, doing pollution checks, checking workplaces are obeying the laws and regulations, putting uo solar panels, designing and business parks, hospitals, homes, and schools.
Perhaps most importantly if you're starting a business doing these things. I know that hierarchical Capitalism isn't good or ideal, but ultimately it's driving a lot of the horrible things in the world, from lobbying to AI, and we have to turn that shit around somehow too.
"Getting involved" can't just be about protesting or "stopping the bad direction" - at some point we need to go in the good direction too.
To be clear, I didn't mean getting involved to only mean protesting. Things like worker strikes and the like were very much included
