I see I was looking at the conversation from a wider perspective and likely misunderstood the context added by the image. I don’t disagree with your comment “abolishing ‘x’ ends ‘x’”. However, abolishing any given inequity, one at a time, in one area at a time is not the progress I was speaking of when I asked how to change social structure. Before we can abolish anything, we need people who believe it should be abolished, and we need enough of them to institute change. My question was directed more toward the earlier steps: identifying necessary change and then creating/maintaining a movement which can enact that change.

If we keep finding ourselves in another iteration of the problem, did it really work? There has to be a more permanent solution.

When I click the chain icon, it brings me to the post and I can see the reply comment, but not my own (which for me adds a lot of needed context for interpreting the reply). Is this normal?

While I feel like I might understand some of the impulse to restrict resources as a way to ensure all members contribute to society, we can see that this isn’t actually the outcome of such restrictions; this tells me that the motivation isn’t about improving society but rather improving the standing of a select few. It is all about power and control. How do we change the social structure at this point?

The concept of suitable housing as a right is too uncommon. I wish the US government would put more focus on tangible needs like housing, access to healthy food, and healthcare.

Thanks, I’ll give that a try.

Yeah, I posted a link to a song and asked if anyone else liked it, but the post was removed as off-topic. So I guess that was a stupid question.

I couldn’t remember the word for bookmark! Thank you! I tried to compensate by over describing, lol

There is a flag/banner (ribbon?) icon below posts (and comments), if you click the icon, the post (or comment) will be visible in your in-app saved items (bottom toolbar, looks similar to the save icon). I’ll post screenshots.

Here’s the icon to save a post/comment:

The screenshots make this post confusing for me, lol! Every time I edit I get confused about where to click! Sorry for the poor cropping of the images.
