  • I dont like this way of thinking because its the wromg way around. The very popular study believes, that non violent movements needed around 3% active participation to reach their goal. These movements did not set out with this number in mind.

    Starting a movement with this specific number in mind will result in shortcuts that the movements in the study did not take.

    Its like saying “healthy” people eat lots of vitamins and instead of doing all the stuff these people do/eat, you just take multivitamins and hope to have the same result.

    It can work, but its a very one sided approach that leaves out so many other important aspects.


  • The goal should be taking down Trump before coming for the other party.

    It should be, but I dont think that Democrats see it the same way. The party as a whole besides some individual politicians is not a party that is ready or willing to oppose the fascists.

    They also have a track record of being useless against Trump. They were in power 4 years, Biden promised to bring the country back together and just failed. There is no need to focus on them when resisting Trumpism.

    Doesnt mean they couldnt join the cause, but most likely they will do that when they decide to co-opt it so they can win the next election.


  • Ich finde schade, dass dein Kommentar hier gefühlt schlechtsmöglichst interpretiert wird. Ich würde auch anzweifeln ob erzwungene Verhaltensänderung wirklich Rücksicht ist.

    Aber es geht hier auch gar nicht/ kaum um die individuelle Ebene, sondern um gesamtgesellschaftlich Prozesse. Eine vermeintlich rücksichtsvolle Gesellschaft (hier im Beispiel Dänemark) gestaltet die Verkehrsregeln anders (Tempolimit, Radverkehr, …) als eine vermeintlich weniger rücksichtsvolle Gesellschaft wie DE. Die Prioritäten in der Verkehrspolitik ändern und bspw gefährdete Verkehrsteilnehmys besser schützen wäre zumindest auf gesamtgesellschaftlicher Ebene rücksichtsvoller.
