      party foul, can't be good without being powerful, can only be "harmless"

      does everyone have the power to make good things happen, rather than bad

      is camus and sartre's freedom of the prisoner at all *meaningful*- can the prisoner exert their will (good or bad) on the world, or can they "choose" only the most meaningless choices

      i mean "on some margins". those margins could be meaningless, if you have no power (not necessarily *political* power, ofc)

      Maybe you need some minimal power to be good, but the minimal cutoff is only a tiny fraction of how much power individuals can realistically get?

      i'd rather someone had the power to save my life, while being impolite, and chose to use that power for good over the politely powerless

      maybe you have to believe that a god might make an evil world that you must overcome, to believe that the powerless *are* the handmaidens of evil

      i think the belief that the only sort of good is political or at scale is itself kind of a stepping stone to evil

          politics is an infinitesimal slice of power, and when it's used, it can only be a necessary evil power generally is the servant of good powerlessness is the root of all evil
