It's a cultural problem and it requires cultural solutions.

We need to value different things, and that's purposefully vague because it applies to so many aspects of our lives.

I've recently been thinking of it as a 'war on modesty,' which is what we need to see value in in order to fight back against consumerism.

Do more with less. Appreciate what we have. Those kinds of things.

It's unfortunate that these basic suggestions could solve such major problems, but I believe that's how far we've strayed from the truth.

    Patriarchy and capitalism go hand in hand. We are still saying the same thing.

    They are related, but not the same. We are not saying the same thing.

    You do not know what those words mean.

    Ironic, considering you seem to literally believe capitalism and patriarchy mean the same thing.

    You take it as patronizing because it would be silly for you to not know what that word means.

    I take it as patronizing because it is and I've dealt with your kind before.

    I am going to have to block you now, though, without reading the rest of your drivel.

    Re-read my previous comments if you have any further misunderstandings or still believe we are in agreement. We are not and you are being willfully ignorant if you think otherwise.

    You may have the last word. I can tell you're dying for it.

    If I want to share a post with someone from another instance, it looks like I have 2 options:

    1. I can share how my instance links to the post, which is the little link symbol.

    2. Or I can click the federated symbol and that apparently shares a link from the poster's instance.

    In both cases, whoever I share the link with is unable to view that post from their account if they're on another instance. Is there a way to alleviate this?
