Changing the world requires caring enough to do something. We'd be in a much worse situation if a friday afternoon's clicktivism wishes were the governing force

Changing the world requires caring enough to do something. We'd be in a much worse situation if a friday afternoon's clicktivism wishes were the governing force of western civilization.
- jessaustin 10y agoSome people think that "do something" means coloring within the lines like 'nabla9 suggests above. Other people don't think that.
- nabla9 10y agoYou should both color within and outside the lines. But people who live in democracy complaining that the system is corrupt and not using the system to correct itself are deluding themselves. There will never be better system that distributes real power without coercive action , corruption and dirty politics.
- logfromblammo 10y agoAs an occasional tabletop gamer, I can often conceive several different winning strategies just by reading the rules of the game. In the game of American representative democracy, I would not recommend your strategy. It's playing for 2nd place. If you truly believe what you said, you should be recommending that people act to corrupt a public official in a manner that provides some leverage to them, personally. Alternately, poach the blackmail material from someone who already has leverage.
- AnimalMuppet 10y agoThat strategy will increase your power, if it works. But it carries much higher downside risk...
- meanduck 10y agoYes who needs better and more correct code for critical missions, If we all shout loud/longer enough we would win.
