        This all or nothing thinking often just turns into an excuse for doing nothing.

        I can make a better world by making things better in my immediate vicinity, without dying for it. I can help one person at a time, and it might not scale to some kind of globally noticeable improvement, but it can still a difference to each of those people, and was worth whatever effort or sacrifice involved.

          Being a good little slave doesn’t fix things.

          Voting and recycling isn’t going to fix a single problem, because that’s what we’ve been doing for 50 years and things got worse.

          It’s become painfully obvious to many people now that peaceful protest is ineffective and ignored.

          The real issue is too many people have become complacent in being domesticated.
