Achieving significant political change, even as an individual with significant political power
Significant political change…for the better.
As we’ve seen all over the world or only takes a relative few to make negative change.
It's a lot easier to break things than it is to build them.
Culture sadly has to be taken into account or it's like rowing upstream.
Is achieving significant political change really viewed as ezpz?
Not necessarily but a bunch of political commentators sure like to act like it is whenever they're complaining about something the current admin isn't doing or that it is doing but under legal obligation.
According to lemmy lol
"just do a revolution"
Hayes Carll, in his American Dream song:
"Nothing changes, even when it wants to."
This SO much. I was involved some years ago with a non profit, run by a guy with significant personal wealth. He burnt through nearly a million bucks, and did manage to get some change to happen , but it was incredibly difficult and incredibly slow, even with the backing and support of a number of other wealthy and connected individuals plus mass public support as well.
