This should also be a sign for those consistently depressed about mass human change: We actually do it all the time. Amazing global achievements have happened, enormous campaigns against illnesses, amazing strides forwards in literacy in the most desperate places. We have shitheels like Glenn Beck and the Koch brothers fucking stuff up for profit and the GOP fomenting idiocy, but we also have Mdecins Sans Frontires, we have British grannies teaching Indian kids via Skype. The exploitation at the heart of capitalism is a function of the system, a Catch-22, it’s not an innate factor of the human heart. We’re not profit-driven robots.
