The phrase usually refers to any form of activism that is more involved than changing your profile picture and doesn't go through the existing political mechanisms (voting, etc are not considered direct action).
- omginternets 9y agoRight, I know what the term means. I'm wondering what kind of direct action he's suggesting, because "direct action" is often a euphemism for "violence".
- neolefty 9y agoYeah. And I'm trying to encourage a model of direct non-violent constructive action. If you measure outcomes, nurturing & educational actions -- especially for at-risk children -- have reliably good long-term effects.
