I see I was looking at the conversation from a wider perspective and likely misunderstood the context added by the image. I don't disagree with your comment "abolishing 'x' ends 'x'". However, abolishing any given inequity, one at a time, in one area at a time is not the progress I was speaking of when I asked how to change social structure. Before we can abolish anything, we need people who believe it should be abolished, and we need enough of them to institute change. My question was directed more toward the earlier steps: identifying necessary change and then creating/maintaining a movement which can enact that change.
If we keep finding ourselves in another iteration of the problem, did it really work? There has to be a more permanent solution.
While I feel like I might understand some of the impulse to restrict resources as a way to ensure all members contribute to society, we can see that this isn't actually the outcome of such restrictions; this tells me that the motivation isn't about improving society but rather improving the standing of a select few. It is all about power and control. How do we change the social structure at this point?
Could you link to the post? I was only able to find another post with a similar (but different, imo) question, which was also removed as a duplicate. I'd like to read the answers, if possible
Thanks, I'll give that a try.
There is a flag/banner (ribbon?) icon below posts (and comments), if you click the icon, the post (or comment) will be visible in your in-app saved items (bottom toolbar, looks similar to the save icon). I'll post screenshots.
Here's the icon to save a post/comment:

The screenshots make this post confusing for me, lol! Every time I edit I get confused about where to click! Sorry for the poor cropping of the images.
As far as motorcycles go, I've heard "loud pipes save lives", in that people will hear the motorcycle and be aware of it when they otherwise would not.
