    If you’re 99.99% behind far right authoritarian governments, they consider you just as against them as if you were trying to overthrow them…

    Back in the day in what is modern day China, a jailor was transporting prisoners. He ran into issues, and was going to be late. The punishment for showing up late was public execution , so he freed his prisoners, who became his first followers and eventually he overthrew the whole fucking empire.

    Because when any tiny sleight is treated with the same punishment as revolution, revolution starts sounding like a pretty good idea
