@anthropy@mastodon.derg.nz That's where I have to disagree.
Berating people for not having agency is elitism.
Lack of agency is exactly what marginalization is about.
Agency is what privilege boils down to. :abunhd:

@bunny you're saying that like people don't have the agency to pick anything other than a new iphone. And that's exactly what I meant by learned helplessness. to be clear: I 100% support people who are struggling, I think we should make the environment as welcoming as we can but in the end people do have to actively choose to not sustain the terrible system that we currently have. As much as I get that it may not immediately be comfortable.
