Ok, so obviously no one here has done anything to make this world what it is. Wall Street, corporations, and racist social structures are why the world is how it is, and that is just the truth.
I don’t understand why I should feel bad about anything when obviously all of these rich assholes and structures of oppression exist. I didn’t make them.
Until the corporations and wealthy people change, why should I feel guilty or bad about things. This literally isn’t my fault, they did this, so I just feel like I should be able to live my life and not have to worry about all this. Why can’t I?
It depends on the type of progress we’re talking about. I’m talking about political progress, i.e. leftism, socialism, etc. The “progress” of the native American genocide was an inherently right wing, genocidal ideology with the belief that colonial settlers were given the supreme right to control all the land between both oceans. Real progress would be creating a landback framework for native Americans in a true 2 state solution that gives total autonomy to tribes.
