I can hear the armada of cynical replies now: “just words,” “nothing will happen,” “doesn’t count because,” “what about,” “but other bad thing,” “they’re are all the same,” etc etc.
My good folks, when has fighting for justice ever been easy, or involved a clean victory?
A better world doesn’t come from the nihilism of scoffing at everything that isn’t your hypothetical utopia. It comes from showing up and doing the work, over and over, in this messy world.
This is a tug of war. Keep pulling.
