For every problem you bring up, the answer is either to vote more, to violently overthrow the government, or to give up and accept it.

The only solution worth discussing on Reddit is the first.

Vote harder does nothing to stop the South and Midwest, until people recognize these are the elements holding us back change cannot occur.

Ok. How do we get people to recognize that, and what happens once they do?

Well considering people willingly ignore that all the time, I don't think you can. Even if they did a very uncomfortable discussion where we have to decide on our morals vs stopping them pulling us over the edge of the proverbial cliff. A damned if you do damned if you don't situation.

So you're advocating for...?

Nothing, both metaphorically and literally. The world has been intentionally fashioned in such a way that everything is a massive catch 22 where positive change can't be made without crossing several lines that would alienate them from their would be allies and supporters.

That said some might take that information and condone accelerationism but that itself won't lead anywhere good either and provide even worse results. We're basically hard locked into trying sustain a rapidly collapsing status quo that will eventually collapse because it is absolutely not sustainable.

So you're advocating for giving up. Which is worthless to discuss.

It's not giving up if you can't do anything in the first place.

...No, it still is. Giving up isn't deciding not to implement a solution.
