Blaming "capitalism" for all of society's problems is about as useful as blaming God or some gremlins. For example, if you're in the USA and you blame "capitalism" for your problems, then what are you gonna do about it? There is no path to change this society from capitalism to socialism or communism. We have entire armies of military and police who will ensure that the status quo stays in place. You also can't vote your way out of this. No candidates advocating such changes will be elected.
The best thing we can do is aim for better regulation of the systems that have allowed for the oligarchy to take it all over. Which won't be easy or quick at all but is at least somewhat possible.
I think they meant, like, practical actionable paths, not like 'I'm playing a Sim and everyone does what I say'. Perhaps they were trying to think about what people could do in the real world that we actually live in

Your definition of practical and mine differ. For me, a path that makes my life considerably worse is not a practical path. I would assume the same is true for you, you're just unable to admit it.

I don't see anyone wallowing in self-pity on my side of the fence here, it's a matter of 'violence costs lives' and you don't change a system to one that you prefer and most other people don't without organised and persistent violence

I dunno, you're the one who talked about it. Don't ask me what you mean, lol, not my fault if you don't understand yourself

So what are you gonna do about it then? In reality.
Could it be that you just don't want to admit that you can't do anything about it?
As for me, I don't have any responsibility to push onto others about it. I accept the things that cannot change, and I have adapted to survive in the environment that I live in, and things are going generally well.
