Nasty stuff. Cant wait to see how this turns out.
If history has shown us anything it's that a handful of low-level protesters never changes anything.
Yah. They get murdered, caged, beaten up, or otherwise made irrelevant.
Change does not come from below or from above. Change comes from within.
E.g., to end slavery, what it took wasn't a legal change -- no, that happened
later, when change was already inevitable. What ended slavery was the
death of the collectively held
belief that slaves are chattel and ethical norms are somehow magically different for two different classes of people.
