    So you’re a champion of collective power but don’t believe that the choices people make have any impact and thus individuals in a collective shouldn’t pursue change?

      I don’t believe individual efforts are effective for the powerless and that not enough people are willing, able or commited to contribute enough to collective efforts to force systemic, positive changes.

        Ok, so you don’t actually believe in collective action that requires YOU PERSONALLY to be part of the collective? You’re waiting for some other undefined collective of INDIVIDUALS to make INDIVIDUAL CHOICES AND SACRIFICES to make the changes?

        You would’ve genuinely derided any and all civil rights movements, or womens movements, as long as they weren’t big enough of far along enough.

        Your morals depend not on what you actually support with your actions, but what you say you care about. As long as I, as a straight white man, SAY I care about feminism or anti-racism, I don’t actually have to DO anything. Because there’s only two forms of a movement: The one too weak, so there’s no point helping, and the one so strong, there’s no point helping (beyond words).
