2) you realize activism is a crappy way to change things

I thought this, but gay marriage and marijuana legalization have forced me to reassess

the brendan eich situation among others seems evidence of "horrible parody"

certainly does go horribly wrong sometimes; but so does everything

Seems like the Eich case (if there’s nothing new) was a failure of understanding of the principle & function of politics,

rather than a failure of activism per se. (Not totally sure I have a workable distinction here…)

I’m trying to work out a diagnosis of current politics in terms of “atomization,” i.e. abandonment of coherent structures

religious bakers getting sued might be the funnier example
