The absolute best way to ensure that nothing changes is to get cynical and try and demotivate anyone else from trying.



The only path to substantial change is and has always been violent revolution. I welcome anyone to try that.


I doubt that will ever happen when the Western world is so conditioned to view overthrowing the government as treason

There’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.


What would you consider the most substantial change to come about via nonviolent revolution?


Maybe you're both right.
