While this seems like a sarcastic comment and quote we’ve been fooled too many times and lured with false hope and illusions of having an impact while being just held as slaves, more or less.
Edit: feel free to elaborate on down vote. I am just sick and tired of trying my best for the environment and getting my ass handed to me by mega corporations and additionally being blamed, too.
You’re giving people hope while Joe Biden is forcing federal workers to get into their car and drive into the office. Hope they can fight for something better makes people think “Well I’m not going to vote for someone who does that.”
If you turn around and say “No, no. You have to.” Now you’ve given someone hope and then just ripped it right back.
My counter is: I don’t think you necessarily do. A historian might have some insight on this.
I find false hope to be more damaging than not hoping but still trying.
And as to the why: because there are logical reasons to do so. It’s the right thing. I think we might get into religious understanding here, which is a fascinating thing, you see.
Don’t do that, don’t give me hope.

You need hope.
If you have no hope, why would you try to fix something? If people don’t try to fix something, it’ll never get done.
So ask yourself, do you want a better world?

FUD off elsewhere mate.
Fair point.

And what are the logical reasons to do so? Maybe an that the changes you want would leads to a better future? One could call that hope.
Just simple common sense, nothing more.
If I can do something considered good or beneficial for others why shouldn’t I? The other path would simply be egotistical.
