 you are depriving them of the liberty to choose their own ends.

 build the structure first. build it on honesty and trust and dedication toward
 a goal. then build the necessary adaptations as you encounter problems, trying
 vaguely to head in a particular direction, and eventually you'll become
 self-sustaining.

 Okay. Consider: if I'm good, and hearing what I say makes you feel bad, then
 what does that tell you about you?
 
 Why else would you hear what I say if not to reflect upon yourself? And why
 would the good reflect away from the types of things that make you a suitable
 fit for capitalism?

 Consumption is contribution to a capitalist system. Normalize taking whatever
 you are given and living as humbly as you can. Only when everyone does that
 may capitalism die. Talk to them, learn from their stories. Teach them your
 ways but don't force anything upon them. Any ounce of regret is defined as a
 mind not aligned to the angle of perception that designs the line that the
 collective mind co-re-assigns.

 me? And I get physically upset when people are put in difficult situations
 that you're supposed to laugh at for some reason.

 conservatives think gender is assigning yourself to a particular social role
 
 liberals think gender is sort of an aesthetic and way of presenting yourself
 
 queer people tend to think of gender as how you feel and what sparks joy in
 your heart
 
 the truth is much more complicated and involves all three, and many more
 things besides.
