I wanted to post this video, the words and images are compelling. And yes, I know about issues with Kennedy, etc. It's not the point.

I didn't get the feeling this is what the meme is about, maybe it is. I think your discomfort is good, in that it has you questioning what you may have not questioned, before. On one level, we can't decide what's okay for you, internally. The bigger question is, if external forces would compel suffering and death for your beliefs and convictions, are you prepared to accept that? Many of us who think we are may not be, when put into that position, just as many of us who think we aren't may end up being more certain than we knew. And at that end neither really matters, at all. I think deep introspection will have to be both journey and destination, multiple times in our lifetimes. The questioning is the reward.
I believe the word you want is "prosecute/prosecution" rather than "persecute", but thanks for this.

Superior orders, also known as just following orders or the Nuremberg defense, is a plea in a court of law that a person, whether civilian, military or police, should not be considered guilty of committing crimes ordered by a superior officer or official.[1][2] It is regarded as a complement to command responsibility.[3]
ja wear a black armband when they shot the man who said peace could last forever?
Ah, the Nuremberg defense. πΆ
It won't be easy going against the duopoly; it never is.
Yes, that's what I mean about getting a toe in the door. So I'm open to running as Dem, but IDK if the party would let that happen either.
Maybe, I can't remember. I don't seem to recall it having advert execs but I don't remember the rest of the story either. It was a long time ago. I remember the lesson, though.

We've got to get a toe in the door. Ideas?
I didn't say capitulate, I said no need to make wedge issues a distraction and division. No need to ignore it, just do it. Someone makes a big deal, point out how taking others rights has resulted in the ever narrowing few that have rights.
Maybe no taxes below the poverty level, which btw needs serious updating along with minimum wage. No ultrarich or corporate lobbies. Basic necessities are provided to taxpayers, by taxpayers, including a healthy, well-balanced diet, fully funded comprehensive health, utilities including Internet; renewable energy, no corporate or excessive ownership of homes or land, nationalize food, energy, water, education, quality textiles/clothing, I'll think of more. It won't all be immediately doable but we can and should get people everyday necessities.
Imo the problem wasn't in trying to rehabilitate, it was that it was insufficient.
