    This feels really insightful, and I wonder if there is a source other than ShaggySnacks.

    Can anyone expand on or contradict this comment? I honestly want to hang it in my house so my children can see it and understand they power they have.

      Sadly, no source. It’s something I’ve observed. I can’t recall any time a State changed it’s position on an issue simply because it was the moral thing to do.

      There are other forms of power such as legal (using the Courts), culture, morality, etc.

      The examples above aren’t exhaustive, for example having allies in the State does help with change, which is means running for office in an a democratic system.
