If your plan starts with "if only people did..." it's not gonna happen. People won't do it. The status quo will continue to lord over us all.

Detachment is a privilege that presumes other people won't harm you.

To paraphrase Zizek: "You can't change people, but you can change the system, so that people aren't pished to do certain things."

In general, people have historically always acted within a historical-material framework that influenced their actions and thoughts. Only changing the framework changes people's actions down the line.

The thought, that it all depends on people being "better" is part of an ideological distortion, in service of the status quo. As is the thought, that you would have to change the people instead of the dynamics of production and property. Ideology presents the former as hope and the latter as impossible, when it is precisely the other way around.

Detachment is just shorthand for giving up. It's great your life isn't being fucked over, yet, You're still in danger, you just gave up on doing anything about it. That's called being a coward.

I'm starting with the man in the mirror I'm asking him to change his ways And no message could've been any clearer If they wanna make the world a better place Take a look at yourself and then make a change
