All activism is fake activism.

When people access the use of force for the threat of violence they have, by definition, a new political power. An unwanted political power.

All activism is fake activism.

There's more roles now to fill since Trump's in. There's this refusal of power. I think progressives are actually literally uncomfortable with the exercise of power, because of what you learn. When you're too educated you understand the total disconnect of the exercise of power.

I really try not to be like, "I'm an activist."

The sad thing about Trump is that everybody is secretly really relieved he got elected, of the people I know - the professional left and academic left.

Specifically within the AR15 community, gun owners can now make the capacity magazines for themselves and there is no need to serialize them. People don't like to register their firearms any more. They don't trust the government.
