Folks don't realize real change can't happen drastically and realistically be expected to remain. It's going to be baby steps. Getting them to believe gradual change isn't worth fighting for is a great way to maintain the status quo. They don't raise they are their own worst enemies.
Are you seriously arguing against the French Revolution right now? What the fuck is wrong with liberals I stg
Are you talking about the French revolution that resulted in the installation of Emperor Napoleon and a renewed French imperialism? That could be argued was a reason for the Vietnam war?
Gradual change sets the conditions for drastical change.
Exactly. It sucks, but it's just the truth. I'd love to vote for an openly socialist presidential candidate, but we have to slowly shift the political views for a long while before that's viable.
