I think both approaches (building new systems and fighting from within the current system) have merit and should be pursued. While I agree the current system is dysfunctional and we need to build new ones, we also can’t totally ignore it. I mean you can but it won’t ignore you.

And you do a parallel with #Bitcoin and #Nostr which are great tools for a new system but if we’re being honest, there are not near ready to replace the tools of the current system. So again, fighting on both fronts is important and there is no benefit in opposing those two approaches.
