Individual solutions can’t solve systemic problems.
But systemic problems do not absolve any of us of the responsibility for individual actions.
Ex: racism is a systemic problem. That doesn’t mean I get to be a racist asshole.
Ex 2: climate change is a systemic problem. That doesn’t mean I’m allowed to dump plastic waste into the ocean.
