    Everyone says this kind of stuff about any and every social issue. It drives me insane, do people not realize that it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy? If everyone I heard say “there’s no point fighting it” got together and fought it, they’d easily win.

      I see this a lot in discussions about climate change lately: country X is polluting just as much or more than us so we shouldn’t do anything. This argument makes no sense.
