"...it is a battle between the powers that be and is causing people to choose one side or the other. Without them realizing that this act alone already seals a kind of powerlessness which, because it revolves around taking a political stance, could be described as successful."

I strongly agree, and strive to steer discussions that center on complaints about political agents and policies towards what we can personally do to insulate ourselves from those things, and how we can work together to disempower them and empower ourselves.

"So I won't."

I confess I share all your concerns about what will drive people to secure themselves from malevolent powers. Perhaps I am a pessimist, but too often in history I see how people are driven by exigency to mob violence as a result of pernicous politics, and I would much prefer to simply thrive instead of suffering such exigent circumstances. I believe my efforts to encourage adopting such mechanisms do bear fruit from time to time, as I see people adopting them.

I appreciate very much your reticence to disabuse the zealous. You are wiser and kinder than I.
