Sometimes collective action is required to fix an issue. Restricting people to individual action is depriving them of their freedom of association, a core enabler of democracy.
- kubb 1y agoIt’s an old strategy that tries to take agency from people by splitting them up. If you convince many powerless people to work alone, they aren’t gonna be a threat.
- ffsm8 1y agoBoth of your comments have a grain of truth, just doesn't apply to this scenario. what halayli wrote is spot on in this context. If you're writing a blog post and call it a day, then you're not trying to change the status quo. If he's giving talks, seeking out interviews etc to address this issue, you'd have a basis to argue your points... But like this? No, it doesn't hold up. It's super normalized however, and not specific to this blog. Most blogs seem to call on the reader to do things. And even if every reader did, you still wouldn't have changed the status quo, because that needs a way bigger investment.
