Agreed. I've been thinking a lot about this, like in almost all media the people who want to change things are always the bad guys. And I think we are taught from very early on that big changes are bad, that you can't just change things overnight. Basically the entire culture we live in explicitly teaches that change is wrong, and whoever does it is selfish or evil. Which means that everyone is super docile and super resistant to anything that might deviate from status quo. The funny thing is that this actually limits a lot of productivity and is bad for the bottom line of capitalism itself. The sad thing is that it leaks in personal life as well and hurts relationships because nobody ever wants to do the work or hold others accountable when all they offer is platitudes.
