Too many activists demanding exactly what they want right this moment.

2018-07-29 14:15:43 UTC  

I don't subscribe to that either

2018-07-29 14:16:23 UTC  

You see neither feminism nor any other -ism will fix the broken bit of public road

2018-07-29 14:16:45 UTC  

Agendas do a lot of stuff, but not exactly an objective problem solving

2018-07-29 14:16:51 UTC  

rule of thumb: if activists in current year demand something - do the opposite

2018-07-29 14:17:06 UTC  

I'd rather have shit done than my tribalistic feels appeased

2018-07-29 14:17:44 UTC  

Yeah I don't get those 'progressives' that think it's only progress if we go from 0 to 100% in one step..

2018-07-29 14:18:20 UTC  

Also: isn't it a bit of disingenuous tactic that political parties extort people with - alonmg with these good reforms and solutions you really want, you also MUST subscribe to all this stinky tub of shit as well

2018-07-29 14:18:28 UTC  

No. I don't

2018-07-29 14:19:14 UTC  

yeah i don't get those "progressives" that think that they are right on anything they say

2018-07-29 14:19:24 UTC  

But then again i have no idea how to do it better...

2018-07-29 14:19:32 UTC  

Well such radical change is anti-democratic and therefore a recipe for disaster. You need to keep making your argument until you've convinced a critical mass of the population, until you've achieved consensus. Only then, with society's consent, can effective and lasting change be made.

2018-07-29 14:19:46 UTC  

remove political parties, have inidividuals

2018-07-29 14:20:06 UTC  

maybe then they actually talk in policies and not dogma

2018-07-29 14:20:12 UTC  

What is worse is that these ignoramuses demand a blanc-slate revolution in many cases

2018-07-29 14:20:29 UTC  

Abolish X. Then we will make something better instead

2018-07-29 14:20:50 UTC  

yes

2018-07-29 14:20:53 UTC  

typical idealist

2018-07-29 14:20:56 UTC  

Do you demolish a house when a few lights are asymmteric?

2018-07-29 14:21:00 UTC  

Yeah they're much better at tearing down than they are at building anything up.

2018-07-29 14:21:00 UTC  

fix X and all shall be well

2018-07-29 14:21:23 UTC  

are they good at anything besides shouting?

2018-07-29 14:21:32 UTC  

It is always wiser to reform

2018-07-29 14:21:45 UTC  

because you can always undo and fall back on existing structure

2018-07-29 14:21:52 UTC  

not always, but in 99.9 percent of cases yeah

2018-07-29 14:21:57 UTC  

Starting from 0 is a bad bad plan

2018-07-29 14:22:12 UTC  

Soviets should have been a warning for that

2018-07-29 14:22:23 UTC  

"Everything is sexist, racist, Islamophobic and oppressive".

- Ok, so what do we do?

"Tear it all down".

- Ok, then what?

"Dunno".

2018-07-29 14:22:36 UTC  

Pretty much

2018-07-29 14:22:40 UTC  

ANARCHY

2018-07-29 14:22:42 UTC  

nah, in their mind, once the bad is removed, all that remains is the good, so it will work itself out

2018-07-29 14:22:45 UTC  

2018-07-29 14:23:06 UTC  

they are the bad though

2018-07-29 14:24:17 UTC  

can we just abolish social media ? most of those goody two shoes activist would disappear without their instant gratification of likes and retweets for moral grandstanding without any solutions

2018-07-29 14:24:42 UTC  

The Iranian revolution was began by communist students. It was then hijacked by Islamists and they've had a brutal theocracy for near 40 years now.

2018-07-29 14:25:25 UTC  

Ie. Be careful what you wish for. It's never the outcome the idealists dream of.

2018-07-29 14:25:50 UTC  

it's just like communist trying to take over always leads to shit going sideways... if they succeed or not.

2018-07-29 14:41:40 UTC  

Well a very similar thing happened in kerala

2018-07-29 14:42:00 UTC  

In fact the communist party is the majority there now

2018-07-29 14:42:41 UTC  

so, other parties member merged into it

2018-07-29 14:43:30 UTC  

And the communist party just became a left party
