affirmation for people who broiled their brains in online political discourse: it is not necessary for the average person to have a vision for utopia with all the practical details fully worked out and a step by step plan for how this would be enacted. that is not a normal prerequisite to hold over yourself or others before having any opinions about anything.

even on a much more personal level this is a good thing to release yourself from

"I want this."
"How are you going to get it?"
"Idk, I didn't say I'm going to get it right this second, I said I wanted it."

give yourself permission to want a better life even if you don't have a perfectly airtight plan to achieve it. the "who's gonna pay for it" conversation comes after the clarification of needs and hopes, it doesn't pre-empt it
