And how will this movement influence (overthrow?) these oligarchs that control the government?
- BirAdam 4y agoIf the number of people in the movement is large enough, governmental intervention becomes ineffectual. For example, the War on Drugs is great for the government. It expands police power, it provides a lot of federal funds to the states, and provides profit to private prisons. These things didn’t stop states from legalizing marijuana, and it will not stop other drugs from being legalized. Beyond that, people just ignore some laws in mass numbers and there’s little for the government to do: every single Phish concert, Floyd concert, Sublime concert, etc
