I was even being realistic about it.

Of course, I am jaded also because Reddit hivemind exists.

EDIT: People would rather doomsay and use it as an excuse for inaction. I'm glad someone gets it.

Meanwhile, today I have flipped out about how all money is funneled to the top, so I guess I have pulled a 180. I even wrote "what is sustainable? Working a job that pays half the bills plus a GoFundMe?"

It's only excusatory if we let it be excusatory. Celebrate human generosity while telling the robber barons at the top to go fuck themselves, is the way.

So we're supposed to be unhappy about this? How do you tolerate such a level of suffering? I can't.

Yes, we tear down the system. In the meantime, we find good by getting through and helping people who need it. Helping people who need it, after all, is and always will be the way.
