    Absolutely do what you can to make your communities better. Fairly unobjectionable advice to anyone who isn’t a monster. But if we’re talking revolution - those who must be persuaded to grasp an extended hand often do so only when they understand that ignoring it may lead that open hand to closing into a fist.

      Not everyone needs to agree. There will always be assholes who opt out of society. There’s enough to go around, even if they’re a pain. The occasional hoarder is less detrimental to keep around than a punitive enforcement mechanism.
