[–] Djtecha@lemm.ee 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Well I agree with the difficulty here. But I think as a society we should both try to make it easier to make this transition and help individuals feel like they CAN make the transition. Otherwise it's sort of nonstop toil ain't it? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) On that we agree. Pretending that it's already easy or even POSSIBLE for everybody doesn't help achieve that goal, though. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Djtecha@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 child) I don't think anyone thinks it's super easy deep down.

But that's just an opinion. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 0 points 2 years ago I think it does us a disservice to assume the majority cant vs the majority can It's not an assumption, it's statistical fact.
