Gonna have to change the voting and/or representation system if you want to change the voting strategy. I suggest Approval Voting. It’s dead simple and very effective. Vote for everyone you like, and nobody you don’t.
You need to use your protests as recruiting grounds for more direct pressure on your government. You should establish or join a lobbying organization and recruit volunteers. You will have these people write letters to the editor, solicit for donations, call and write to your representatives, and schedule in-person meetings with government officials.
Standing on the street and yelling by itself is not enough, you need to become a part of the establishment to affect change, but you can grow your organization by finding people who have proven to be motivated. A protest is a great place for that sort of thing.
Well shit, I wager the vast majority of people didn’t know most of that (including myself). I still think the situations aren’t a 1:1 comparison, but the Houthi logic is at least more reasonable.
If the infrastructure is key to the war effort, fair game. But like, the nether the Houthis nor the British are directly involved in the Israeli invasion of Palestine. Whereas I’m pretty sure Ukraine–having been invaded by Russia on false pretenses–has limited their targets to inside Ukraine and Russia.
Also, like, terrorism has a definition. The purpose behind Ukrainian attacks are direct military goals, while the Houthis are trying to generate pressure on the international community to drop support for Israel. The Houthis are using bottom-tier logic, but it is fundamentally different from what Ukraine is doing both in terms of actions and reasoning.
Feels kinda like an old skate video. It felt weird at first but I got into it by the end.
