I wildly disagree with that statement. To suggest that money, political capital and many other things besides popular support are irrelevant, is disingenuous to say the least.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoI’m not sure where you are misreading me, but the authors point still stands that your “battle with the establishment of real politik” is evidence of the complexity of the situation not being fully addressed.
- luffapi 5y agoSomething doesn’t have to be fully addressed to be effective. You’re moving the goalposts.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoNot meeting the intended goals is the definition of ineffective.
- luffapi 5y agoIt did meet the intended goals. You and the author are just fabricating new goals that have nothing to do with the activism at hand.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoIf that’s the case, then you are simply waving things away that don’t meet your preconceived notions.
- luffapi 5y agoThat doesn’t make any sense, you can’t define other people’s goals. I’m sure 100% of the people who took issue with what Yang said are happy with the result of this effective activism.
- 9wzYQbTYsAIc 5y agoApparently your goal is to stifle dissent without consideration for the merits of that dissent?
