Systems are made of people. So yeah, remove the bad actors and you already have a better system.

Systems are also made of rules, and bad rules can turn good people into bad people. That's kind of the point of critical race theory

[-] glitchdx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

People have to make the rules, and choose if they enforce them, and choose if they obey them. Ultimately, it comes back to people.

[-] Genius@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

Yeah, but psychological factors decide whether people obey and conform, as demonstrated by Milgram and Asch. Changing the situation changes whether they'll go along with a bad system.

Fair point. My rebuttal: The system here is manifold, a lack of general awareness and understanding, the legislative framework in most places, and most importantly, capitalism. The owners of social media are the most replaceable part of that, if Meta and Zuck imploded today, some other for-profit crap would fill the void
