Sorry y'all. I am prone to thinking technological determinism's more right than not, and to seeing the stable outcome of "games" as inevitable unless the terms of the games themselves can be altered, and there's usually not much interest in doing that. Maybe that makes me part of the problem, but I'm pretty sure nothing in the actual world would change if I flipped around to a "we can, actually, realistically, fix this" attitude. Realistically, I'm not going to throw the significant resources behind anything that'd be required to have slightly-better-than-winning-the-Powerball odds of making an actual difference, which makes me the same as 99.999% of people, at least. I ain't rich enough to pay others to care about and work toward the causes I'd support in my place, to a degree that it'd actually affect anything, so that'd mostly be lots and lots of actual hours of my life, for a ticket at a slim chance of anything getting better.

Nah. Donate a little to charity while knowing it's not enough to do much. Vote when I manage to forget that the world in which I did vote and the one in which I didn't are identical aside from that I "get to" complain about non-voters and tell them they don't get to have opinions, in one of them. That's it.
