- austinjp 4y agoNobody's arguing for "more power" than you or anyone else. It's about feeling powerless to enact change in the face of existential threat. The wheels are falling off the car while the driver refuses to stop. For anyone believing they're in that situation, compromise is no longer a rational option.
