re: #103 KGxvi

there’s a version of realpolitik that values the status quo over anything else because of a belief that the known is better (and more stable) than the unknown.

As with the law in Florida discussed above, the outcome of this always amounts to a smaller and smaller raft of “status quo.”

It’s almost like that NIemoller poem. You know, the one that people often omit the first two lines of because the raft of who suffers under Nazism can’t be too big.
