Whenever positive systemic change happened in history, the events were rebranded as “fighting for freedom”. Literally all positive systemic change happened this way throughout the history. French peasents beheaded soldiers, that’s how they got democracy. If they had failed, the events would have been known as a “terrorist attack”. But the important thing is, there has to be a social movement behind the actions. Individual attacks may spark the initial flame, but if there is no movement behind it the flame won’t last for long. That’s the thing you are right about. No matter how many times this happens, it will not result in any change unless there is also a social movement behind it.

Imagine if a FAANG company pulled this move - demo a feature on stage, promise to ship it, then just… don’t.

I’d start thinking about which country to move to if racism wasn’t also an issue.

immortality but I can die if I want to.

I pay myself 10 dollars everytime I watch a pirated movie.

Apparently I someone needs to bring democracy to USA.

we are rich but we don’t know it. we’ll that’s… rich.

Which economists warn? What are they warning about? I’m really getting tired of this.

Thank God! That’s a relief. I thought I was going to have to redo my entire photo library hosting stuff.

I always thought there seems to be one “u” too many in colloquium.
