It actually reminds me of an apocryphal (?) conversation someone had with Lu Xun, a leftist author in 20th century China famous for his relentless social criticisms. The person supposedly asked Lu Xun: “We all live in a giant prison and there is no way we can break the bars. If everyone falls asleep, then they will never have to realize what miserable condition they live under. In that way they’d be happier than if they were awake. So why bother wake them up?”
Lu Xun supposedly said, “if everyone wakes up and binds their forces together, who is to say that they can’t break out of this prison?”
Another win for that Cushbomb quote I half-remember about liberals in general and conservatives in particular having no response to "I reject your premise"

This is a superb pull.
