    You have to think practically: When has systemic change ever happened without individuals choosing to make a change? Never!

    It’s the same for voting, or boycotting or unionizing or even guillotining. The french kings head didn’t spontaneously fall off, it involved many individuals making a choice, risking their life and even dieing.

      Yes, that’s true. I do think we need a two-pronged approach: On the individual level, do what you can. Every little bit helps.

      On the systemic level, lobby for some meaningful reforms.

      But in the meantime, I think it’s rather grotesque to fantasize about murdering people. Guillotine parties have ways of spiraling out of control.
