In case I haven’t been clear enough on this point: I want no part in any revolution in which the revolutionary has no goal bigger or better than a purely local shuffling of advantage to themself.

The only revolution I’m willing to die for is one where the goal is a better model: a better way for people to live.

I cannot see a way that killing people is a path to a better world. Killing people without thought or empathy is what the adversary does.

I think we can flip everything upside down via wit and endurance and humanity and sheer will.

Violence is for people who fail in all of that.

Yes. But the amount of people that still failed after all of that is ever growing.
