MODERATORS
Companies are made of people too. I think it's rather passive to other the responsibility like that: it's the corrupt politicians, it's the corrupt companies, etc. It's our corrupt selves. We have to own it to spring us into action.
Absolutely not. This is like how they want people to believe climate change can be stopped my everyone compostin, when something like 60%+ of emissions come from 10 known polluters
Democratizing blame is a tactic of manipulators to avoid accountability.
As I said, fault and responsibility are different.
It is clear who is at fault. And it is clear we are responsible for purging the societal parasites.
We can talk about improving future mitigation against abuse, but victim blaming under the pretention of "cultural responsibility" is bullshit. America's car-centric culture is demonstrably NOT a naturally occuring phenomenon like bigotry but a deliberately manufactured environment for the benefit of moneyed interests
I don't think we'll see eye to eye in this, but I want to set the record straight on one thing. I'm not advocating for individual action like you're suggesting. The opposite. I want people to press and execute change in how politics are done, so that regulations can be enacted to our benefit.
As to our disagreement, I do believe the body politik of a people only does as the people allows it, and therefore their inaction makes them share fault. You seem to disagree. That's not an objective statement, it can't be proven or disproven. What matters most is this doesn't prevent us from acting to fix the problem. We seem quite aligned on what must be done.
