Obviously we all agree the programs should be changed, but this kid/family can’t do that themselves. Instead, they’ve found a way to provide direct action, via community support, which is a core anarchist leftist trope, and should be commended.
It’s not a critique of the child. It IS a critique of the system. No one is saying what he did was bad, or that he shouldn’t have done it. They’re saying HE SHOULDN’T HAVE TO. It’s like the heartwarming stories of Americans funding their medical care through go-fund-me. It’s horrifying to any sensible person.
Anarchist and Libertarians can care for each other. If there ever was a more clearer justification for actual taxes and government. It’s where it’s things that would increase access to freedom. Like not having to beg to survive, come into the conversation.
The comment I replied to, as written, comes off as a critique of the child/family’s actions.
They have no influence on the macro conditions.
Edit this is like :
“Man saves child from drowning”
Then comment is like “why could the child access a river?”
Like, yeah, we all agree the child should have been supervised around water, but that’s not the point of the article. The point is that someone completed a charitable/selfless action.
Lemmy constantly kneejerks to the macro, abstract case and it’s silly. Lemmy prefers to complain about out of system variables than commend I’m system variables.
Is the child/family going to do that?
Why is Lemmy like this?
