      - rich people paying powerful people to get what they want is bad

      - even without bribes/payoffs, powerful people in the USA have always only been rich people

      - did I say USA? I meant the whole world

      - we’re all gonna die if we don’t make sure people without money have a voice too, and convince powerful people not to keep polluting

        You cannot convince Capitalists to “do the right thing.” That was the common through-line of Utopian Socialist failures. I recommend reading Socialism: Utopian and Scientific.

      That’s not a bad thing, we all come to new things not understanding them at first, especially topics that we don’t get a good grasp on until we’re into adulthood and no longer have a structured education system to guide us. Subjects like politics, economics, sociology etc.

      We all come to these daunting subjects with various levels of knowledge and ability, all we can do is try to dip our toes in to a subject that feels important to understand, get reading, watching videos, whatever works best for you, and go from there :-)
