I know 🙃 8's a great goal. Hard to achieve, but always worth trying for.

Whoa! You're coming in hot there, buddy. But there is no situation where step 1 doesn't help in some fashion. My guess is step 2, the infinitely more difficult step is where you struggle. Good luck, I guess...

The first step is to take care of your body. Exercise, sleep 8 hours, eat healthy.

Next step is to start taking care of your mind. Not as straightforward as the first step, with quite a bit more nuance.

Lastly, something that helped me is to find the difference, in your life, between motivation and discipline.

I'm unfortunately getting too old to be of any help, but I firmly believe that you guys are going to have to start taking things back, by force, if you want to stop this insane wealth gap.

Abolish religion

Who are you taking to??

Religion is cancer, but who exactly do you think is going to be able to abolish religion?

then some asshole replies

That was what prompted the whataboutism thought. I assumed my words and intent were clear, but I guess not from your reply

Whataboutisms are to distract by changing the topic to something unrelated

Yes. That's why I said bad faith actors. They aren't interested in actual discussion.

but the only people changing the topic are those who are pro Palestine trying to illustrate Israel's wrongdoings which led to the acts you and others condemn.

I don't know what the fuck you are talking about. The only people I am condemning are those who are not here for actual discussion. Hence my entire point.

I'm not talking about people engaging in an actual discussion. That's not what "whataboutism" is. Whataboutism is a tool. Its in the playbook from actual troll farms. It's meant to detract and sow discontent.

Yes. Whataboutism is what trolls and bad faith players use to detract. Don't let them. Don't even engage. Just downvote and move on.

Linkedin is cancer

We need EVERYBODY like you telling their story

Of course they shouldn't give up! I'm just saying, that's not going to be enough.

It may seem slow, it may seem painful, it may feel like it's never going to actually work but you've got to keep going because one day and all of a sudden will.

You're deluding yourself. The wealthy will NEVER part with that much money willingly.

Says some guy from inside a bubble while half the world has been in political strife or violent conflict for centuries...

I hate to say this, but you are asking for meaningful change in a trillion dollar industry. It's not going to happen through stories, public awareness, or by any other peaceful means.

So many downvotes, and you make perfect sense. If we didn't have so much ridiculous celebrity worship in this country, that stupid, unqualified orange buffoon never would have become president in the first place.

You made your bed, now fucking lie in it

100%. Grew up in the Northeast, never experienced true racism in my family until I met my Arkansas relatives.

I think you look good, my guy!
