context: OP, what can people do about it?
  Vote? They are one voice in an ocean of 300 million. Their voice accounts for .00000000333% of America.
  Help the homeless? Most people are trying not to be homeless themselves and at most can only spare a few dollars. Something that will at most buy one meal at McDonalds.
  The people who can actually do something are the politicians in office, and the way you tell them if something needs fixing is to complain. >
  
  Most change happens at the community level.  Your vote absolutely matters. >
  
  Be the change you wish to see >
  
  I mean… it is the system. The government gives tax cuts to big corporations and billionaires when they’re the ones that can afford to pay more taxes. Then our social programs that people rely on start to need more funding cause more people are using them due to increased taxes they tax the people. Then some social programs are whack and you literally cannot afford to be working while on them cause they’ll cut your benefits but you’re not gonna feed a family on 15$ an hour. It’s by design. To say it isn’t the system at all is just ignorant and privileged.
  That said… I’ve literally never seen someone complain about mr beast. 🤷‍♂️ have no clue what that’s about. >
  
  Don’t you realize where you at.Thats all reddit/social media is good for nowadays. People just bitching about their opinion but doing nothing to better themselves/the world. >
  
  You're right how many 1000s of people say I'm not going to vote becouse it doesn't help >
  
  It's not about free stuff and whatever systems you think aren't capitalism in the world are very likely still capitalism or at the least subject to the rest of the world being capitalist. The only way to change a democratic system is awareness which requires systemic critique and public education.
  The main issue with capitalism is in the root of how it functions. Supply and demand. But really it's supply meeting monetary demand. This makes abundance of things like perishables not possible as we don't intentionally exceed demand with cheap abundant supply, we meet it. 
  Supply is tied to production levels and consumption is tied to demand. If consumption doesn't increase with production we have job losses. As production ability increases the owners of means of production are the rich. It's impossible for everyone to be an owner so no matter how smart we all get it's not possible for everyone to live comfortably no matter how much you work. 
  Automation is considered negative due to job losses. This is clearly inefficient. The solution is to build automated cities with egalitarian distribution of resources and minimal required human labor for upkeep. If human labor is minimized to even 20% of current (not impossible, I think 10% is possible with this number also decreasing over time and can be determined based on how automated we decide to build initially) people would only have to work 8 hours a week (only 4 hours at 10%) to have what we have now. Rest of the time free to do other things for community or just enjoy life. You can't convince me this wouldn't be better. You can't convince me we aren't capable of building it. You can't convince me we couldn't do better even if what we have now is the best we currently have. >
  
  MrBeast has always been a rich dude doing whatever he wants, which is fine when he's wasting his own money on buying 100 leafblowers and trying to fly, or having a contest to see who can touch a car the longest, but it's not fine when he treats people the same as other objects. We help people for the sake of helping people, not to look good on video.
  That's more than enough for personal criticism. "Hey listen, we understand you're playing the influencer game, but there are still lines too far."
  Telling someone that some of their actions are wrong isn't condemning the whole person. I challenge anyone to find something wrong with Mr Beasts participation in #teamtrees
  Where the critique of capitalism and our economic/political policies come into play is that they do in fact enable and encourage this kind of behavior. >
  
  If you blame society for your situation, then society has to change. Problem is, that’s unlikely to just happen overnight. If you blame you for your situation, then you have to turn your focus to what you can control and change yourself. I find the latter easier to do and more freeing than anything. Taking ownership of myself was the best thing I ever did. 
  Sure, I have my gripes about the system, but working on what I can impact has been way more productive than bitching about it. >
  
  logic is brutal on this one. >
