Can we reason our way to revolt, already?

`twould be nice, but I see this as requiring a multi-generational solution. We need enough young voters to get out there and vote with their social conscience, to overcome the combined weight of ignorance, money and power.

Seems to me every single time Americans significantly changed their laws, they had to break laws, often pick up firearms, then boycott, illegally enforce their strike’s picket lines, riot and revolt. Perhaps you shouldn’t be speaking of the combined weight of ignorance of society. Maybe your time would be better spent reading a history book rather than attempting to teach nonsense like voting will change their material conditions.

Maybe you should take the time to engage your own critical thinking, and realise not everyone is American.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I scoped correctly. And, you’re Australian, meaning your government follows where ours leads. It leads where it wants regardless of what you or I vote for. Bad faith fuck.
