    And I pointed out that a lot of society is not practicing prefiguration. Meaning that you can’t currently treat it as a guarantee of safety while you attempt to reach the point where a lot of society is practicing it.

      The point being that since prefiguration is the only thing that’s been shown to work, this is what we do. The fact that everyone is not doing it is irrelevant.

        It’s completely relevant. The problem is that you’re completely missing the point of the conversation, because you’re too concerned with arguing a point nobody has disputed.

        The point is that being right doesn’t stop bullets. The point is that your safety is not guaranteed just because you’re doing a good thing. At no point have I claimed that prefiguration doesn’t work. I’ve been abundantly clear the whole time that it can. It’s like you’ve invented a version of me in your head who you’re arguing against instead of listening to what I actually say.
