So your solution to getting out of the hole is to pretend like the hole is inescapable until someone else does the work? Isn't that kind of cowardly?

You're having a fascinating conversation that doesn't seem to involve what I actually write.

You said:

In the meantime: this is the hole we are in. Act accordingly.

AKA "I'm acting like this reality is inescapable"

And also:

If you could actually fucking do that, I would welcome it with open arms.

AKA "I'd love it if someone were to do the work for me"

Right, because "in the meantime" means for-ev-errrr. Acknowledging that shit sucks means I want it to suck eternally.

And pointing out that your grand vision hasn't happened yet means it's my fault.

When do you plan on actually contributing to an alternative?

Seriously, what concrete things need to happen before you're like "a better world is worth taking risks for"?
