How unexpected.
'Don’t be fooled by the clichés of protest movements past. The most radical people today are the ones that look the most boring. It’s not about declaring war on some nefarious elite. It’s about changing behavior from top to bottom. Let’s occupy ourselves.'
I wonder what writers in the 60's said about Vietnam protesters. I wonder how important the old white people set in their ways thought about the civil rights movements for African Americans and women.
It's a good article Cow, but how do YOU feel about it?
