One of the central principles in the Hong Kong pro-democracy protest movement was:

Do Not Split
(In Chinese: 不割蓆)

When you are part of a decentralized movement against an authoritarian power, it is critical to respect the roles others play, even when you do not agree with all of their actions.

Thesis: ICE is un-American and the Minneapolis protestors are real Americans.

Antithesis: Ackshually ICE is operating in a long American tradition of racist terror.

Synthesis: Minneapolis is now the epicenter of a clash between two distinct but historically grounded American political traditions.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

When "heavy dissent" happens in authoritarian countries (China, NK, et al., ) one of the first things that disappears is the Internet. I expect that will happen in this country in next 3.5 years. Yesterday, I met with a shadow group (what I'm calling them) that is working on the solution. P2P Mesh.
