Sure, but it's whack-a-mole until there are major structural change
Of course, but I cannot do major structural changes overnight. I do what I can there but its a slow and uncertain venture.
But you can pull one person back from the nether, and they in turn might help someone else, or even just be one less preacher spreading either tranny evil or black pill giving up to other people.
If you can help people who deserve to be helped, in what sense can you morally justify not doing so?

Who says I don't? To me, understanding these structural issues and personal problems go together. Hence, talking about them helps people.
As for Imp1 in particular, I've tried specifically warning him that the markets weren't going to save him, that the brands he insists aren't pozzed were on borrowed time. If he had listened, Epic doing a girl power things wouldn't have bothered him so much.
I also try to point out to him and others that liberalism is bullshit. His rage ultimately stems from liberalism's broken promises. He won't ever move on from rage until he lets go of those false ideals. You can only help those who are willing to help themselves.
It wasn't an attack on you, was simply a rhetorical question. Apologies if it came off as aggressive. But I don't disagree that they go together, only I've seen countless people so obsessed with the culture war and fighting the Libs online they will step over dozens of people who could help them build a community/circle. Something which would be thousands of times more effective.
And I think you, I and many others have tried to warn him or give him any amount of help. Its all proved fruitless as he has simply become more deranged over the years. Part of which is likely because he feels under constant attack, even here, so he insulates into what comes naturally. His paranoid delusions and the few things he finds comforting (like Fortnite) until they break on him too.
I don't take online stuff too seriously. It's mostly a place to post for the lols, to hopefully learn a few new things, to bounce my ideas around to see how others perceive them, and to see what my ideological opponents are going to do to counter me. Proper, lasting community building needs to take place in meat space.

No worries.
