Just because something really bad exists doesn’t mean we should stop trying to be better than what we are today.

Ah yes, the classic "you aren't currently hanging from the cross, so there's no reason to talk about ways the world could be better" argument. It's so intellectually lazy. Why not say what you actually mean: "I like the way things are, I don't care that other people are mistreated, and I wish everybody would shut up about it already".

I think it reads more like a specific criticism of the term "Systemic". North Korea being a very clear example of what systemic harm looks like, to the point of people starving to death because the societal systems are designed to keep the population in a state of near starvation and desparation.

A bad critique of the term. Systemic harm isn't binary.

The west will be there soon as inflation and wealth disparity continues to increase
