> I take this to mean that you don't believe people are capable of understanding the system in which they live, nor advocating for systemic changes. I'm saying it takes enormous effort to escalate, and one's results in doing so are pretty closely tied to indicators of social class. And then, there's litigation, which is expensive and out of reach of most. It's the only functional mechanism that prevents 55% of the population from oppressing some chunk. edit: I misjudged which thread I was in, and had a bunch more of a reply here that isn't relevant. |

No worries. I didn't see the response or anything.
When normal channels for escalation are prevented, abnormal channels with heavier consequences become cost-viable options. Reading through a history of Ireland's The Troubles is a reasonable place to consider without the baggage of most current political conflict: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Troubles
