That’s like pretending mincemeat can influence the butcher. 👏🏼👌🏼

I am totally reminded of one of the end chapters in "The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" where Tom Wolfe describes one of Keysey's appearances at a large civil rights demonstration, and he plays harmonica and acts mad, and encourages people not to play the government's game. That no matter how impressive the huge demonstrations were, they were all part of the overall system... and that the only way out of that quagmire was to just walk away from the whole system.

By that stage Keysey was deep in the drug hole, but there's something that rings true in that zany madness. We keep using these mega platforms that are simply levers of control now, and in doing so, propping them up.

Well said Micheál, as our name is renedered in Irish. (said mee haul)
