The absolute best way to ensure that nothing changes is to get cynical and try and demotivate anyone else from trying.
- farmaway 4y agoMaybe you're both right.
- explaininjs 4y agoThe only path to substantial change is and has always been violent revolution. I welcome anyone to try that.
- laurex 4y agoThere’s nonviolent revolution, too. But it’s still likely to yield violence in response because these systems are inherently violent and ultimately enforced with violence.
