    Unless you’re a billionaire or willing to shoot someone vigilante-style, there’s nothing you can do that’s going to impact anyone outside of your own neighborhood.

      But if everyone brings positive effects their own neighborhood

      …it’ll probably be out done 1000x by the negative effects of an industrial plant or something…

      but it will still make your part of the world a nicer place to be!

      It’s okay to make your own neighborhood a little bit better though.

      That’s kind of tautological, isn’t it? “Unless you’re willing to make the world better, there’s nothing you can do that’s going to make the world better”

        I’m sure this will be an unpopular opinion but I think the idea that shooting people is the main positive contribution to be made to the world is unimaginative and incorrect

          Yeah, It’s a fantasy in the same vein as punching your boss. It’s not a solution to your problems, just an end to one or two, at best. At worst it just makes everything worse.
