    Do you genuinely believe this? If I hear “X is bad”, I don’t need someone to tell me “oh, but less X is still good step”. I can understand that with even my two braincells.

    Where’s the proof that people don’t understand that? Do we need to start preaching harm reduction and “perfect is the enemy of good” in other areas of activism? Feminism, anti-racism?

      I actually believe this. I believe people are both more ignorant and petty than even you or I can imagine. I also think that people can be persuaded. Make people think that these ideas were something they came up.
