Ok, so obviously no one here has done anything to make this world what it is. Wall Street, corporations, and racist social structures are why the world is how it is, and that is just the truth.
I don't understand why I should feel bad about anything when obviously all of these rich assholes and structures of oppression exist. I didn't make them.
Until the corporations and wealthy people change, why should I feel guilty or bad about things. This literally isn't my fault, they did this, so I just feel like I should be able to live my life and not have to worry about all this. Why can't I?

But of course you have.

You are the society. You have chosen who owns you.
You have voted for the ones who made the rules. You have taken all their baits to make them even more powerful.
You have decided (and still do it every day) to use Big Tech's tech and make them rich. You are paying all their fees and rents daily to make them even richer.
obviously no one here has done anything
And of course you can still decide to stay in The Matrix, because it's comfy here :-)
No I agree with the OP.
I don't accept responsibility for this world. You say we can vote, but that's meaningless when all candidates are picked by the establishment, and when they are powerless to change the world.
You also can't say we are choosing to use big tech, since they own everything. It's not a real choice to not use them. You can't have a car or a phone or a computer without supporting big tech. Living in the stone age means you have no voice, so that's not a solution.
The game is rigged. People growing up today have no choice. It's not their fault. In my opinion.
It's not a real choice to not use them.
It's not one big choice but many smaller choices.
Some of them are harder than others, and I fully agree that some of them may even seem impossible for some reason or other.
Well I think it's more about the game being rigged.
If you don't give the population meaningful choices to affect our daily lives, it's all pointless to try and do something.
It's not that the choices are hard, it's that they have no real meaning for the world. You can choose to not have a car, which makes your life difficult. And it's also pointless because corporation transports pollute the air every day a billion times more than private cars do.
If the world wanted to have a clean environment, all they need to do is put extreamly expensive fines on all of that. But they don't, since money is what matters, not clean air.
