Isn't it apparent? I just don't agree with the shtick about the legitimization of a tyrant. His power already objectively exists; your or mine individual actions are irrelevant. Even with murder, you are not going to break the cycle. The only way is to offer an attractive alternative for the critical mass (on that we would probably agree) that can then delegitimize the tyrant. Freeing Ross in the meantime will not have any impact on the system, but it will have an absolutely crucial impact on him.

Agree!

But the individual actions we take are not irrelevant. Our actions can build the critical mass that delegitimizes the tyrants. I’m working on that every #SaturdayForSatoshi.

I was thinking about a possible analogy. If you were kidnapped and your captor offered you to watch TV on Sunday, you would not become an accomplice or any less of a victim for accepting it.

On the other hand, what you are doing is the alternative, the positive change. It is a Sisyphus-like task—seemingly futile—but you are making a difference. If nothing else I started to follow you because of it.
