You have to assume the system will survive any efforts against it and act accordingly.

voting is harm reduction and yes you are wrong for not telling those in charge of the orphan crushing machine to dial it back a notch especially when the odds aren’t in your favour.

Participating in western liberal democracy doesn’t prevent anyone from building systems that undermine it.

Say the orphan crushing machine crushes 100 orphans an hour.

Influencing the orphan crushing machine does not impact your ability to try to destroy the orphan crushing machine.

You can influence the orphan crushing machine towards crushing 99 orphans an hour.

In what possible scenario should I not take that action. It doesn’t stop the orphan crushing machine, but if it takes us a year to destroy the orphan crushing machine, that’s 8,700 orphans we saved from getting crushed.
