Now is not the time to sit and think of how education and whatnot should have been. Now is the time to act.
Acting in ignorance is exactly how we got here in the first place.
If you think that acting means attacking the people wearing red hats on social media then you don’t understand what is happening, what the sides are and what is at stake.
You’re advocating for fighting the other fools while the con man runs away with both of your money.
Ah, now comes the best part: assuming what I did not say and answering that. Because what can someone with silly 12-year-old worldview know, right?
And now more to the point
Acting in ignorance is exactly how we got here in the first place
Spoilers: one can say that ignorance is main source of all trouble, but that gets us nowhere right now. We got here by not making people capable of handling life in all its depth. Without people who are developed and balanced no amount of fancy laws, traditions and whatnot will keep things from progressing in ugly directions
If you think that acting means attacking the people wearing red hats
And what if I do not think that? Part of reason being that even if today I drop dead all those filthy-ignorant-idiots (and I am so bright and righteous, of course. Sarcasm, obviously), tomorrow same idiotic things will be done by other people
You’re advocating for fighting the other fools
Short answer of a tired man: please, quote me doing so.
Longer answer of someone still caring about at least something: I am advocating against “oh, poor things, they got brainwashed/caught in information bubbles/whatever, things are more complicated blah-blah”. Things are complicated well beyond anyone’s imagination (I am talking in general here. try finding someone who understands a blade of grass totally, on all levels and in all transactions it is being a part of). First things first: fix the damn thing. Again - no, I am not saying “You, people I have never met, go against armed men and die because I say you should”. I am saying “do what best you can, leave all this things-are-complicated horseshit. It never ends”
