Beautiful World, Where Are You? by Sally Rooney

 

"It seems that there exists a curiously unexplained belief that the conditions of exploitation will by themselves generate a solution to exploitation -- and that to suggest otherwise is condescending and superior, like mansplaining. But what if the conditions don't generate the solution? What if we're waiting for nothing, and all these people are suffering without the tools to end their own suffering...in my defence I'm very tired and I don't have any good ideas. Really my problem is that I'm annoyed at everyone else for not having all the answers, when I also have none."
