politics, petitions 

Your periodic reminder that government petitions are absolutely useless. Yes, even the ones that promise it'll be discussed in parliament or whatever. It'll be superficially "discussed" for 5 minutes and then discarded, to tick the box.

The real purpose of government petitions is to redirect people's anger about harmful policies to an "accountability sink" - something that *looks* like accountability, but really only serves to satisfy people emotionally and sweep the issue under the carpet.

TL;DR: You'll feel like you've "done something", so you won't be an actual threat to the government's position anymore.

You create change by organizing and *demanding* it, with whichever degree of severity is necessary to get there. Not by asking for it.

@joepie91 you can also organize and just start taking it instead of demanding :blob_anarchist:
