When I was younger, in a very different America, excessive eagerness to comply with all authority was not universally seen as a virtue. All of you rushing to the defense of a violent and unfair and unrepresentative system are setting yourselves up for heartbreak, the same way the ignorant and the compliant have done throughout history. The obedient, unprincipled, enfranchised moderate is the most radical and dangerous political actor of all. Those are the people who cause the most harm and destroy societies.
