The perpetual paradox of political education. Books transmit information. The knowledge they confer will simultaneously make you better informed about how to design a better society, but less and less certain about whether revolution will encourage or even allow that kind of society. Memes transmit emotions, instilling the passion to enact revolution, but leaving you with no knowledge of how to revolt, or how to rebuild afterward.

It's true. There were about 10 of us on reddit when it was turning anti-mask when covid came out, that fought that shit hard for days. It actually turned the tide. It takes imo, at least 10 people to make real progress. But it always starts with one.
I dunno, that Bible book sure has fucked things up plenty.
