I have yet to see that proven. kb and I have discussed this kind of thing before, and the people who make changes thumb their nose at democracy and 'the system' and do what they want anyway. Think about how we (Using the term broadly) would be viewed if we did those things? We don't have the luxury of anything approaching fair reporting ANYWHERE. I would gladly give my life if it meant a meaningful change in the lives of my peers. If it meant that my blood brothers could get a job that would pay them a living wage without sinking up to their eyeballs in debt. I would do it in a heartbeat (Partially because I devalue my own life so much) but I can't make that sacrifice. The revolution doesn't want my blood, it wants my tweets, and facebook posts, and solidarity in being fucked together.You don't have to overthrow the system to effect change.
