“If everyone would just vote for honest politicians”
“If everyone would just be faithful to their partners”
“If everyone would just trust scientific medicine”
“If everyone would just put people first instead of profits”
“If everyone would just not abuse children”
No. Sure, you’ll never get everyone doing a good thing, but it’s useless to give up entirely on society/community as a whole doing things right. Imagine if 90% of families abused children on a regular basis, and you don’t even hope for those families to change, you just plan on government alternatives?
What?! No, I’m advocating for change. You can go and do the change, since I’m not there. Go and do it, and I’ll do change where I am here.
Or is your strategy hopes and prayers for government instead? You should make tiktoks praising Bernie. And post on Lemmy your preferred government plan. That will definitely do practical help.

You are literally advocating for thoughts and prayers instead of fixing the problem.

Then that’s not an “if everyone would just…” strategy.
Indeed
So what the fuck are you talking about?
