The conclusion I drew is that socially acceptable forms of resistance like voting and writing letters are socially acceptable because they are ineffective. Just get more radical it's more effective and you'll feel better too.

Until you get arrested anyway, can’t get a normal job again, lose your kids because of it, etc.

Large scale social unrest happens because increasingly large portions of society have nothing left to lose.

As an individual, that’s not great.

It does eventually result in change though!

What are you advocating for, giraffe_lady? Am I to throw Molotov cocktails into the windows of Koch Brothers' owned businesses?

Define "radical" for me. I don't know what to do, but I know what I won't do: remove myself from the lives of the people I love.

I'm asking for specifics. What specifically do you suggest? I'm open to suggestions, I'm not asking this as a way to deflect.

What does "civil disobedience" look like to you? And when has it accomplished radical change recently?
