Food for thought. The argument offered here suggests that when the existing social system is headed for inevitable collapse (perhaps accelerated by a disruptive dragon king event such as a government operating outside the bounds of the constitution) the only useful response by change-makers is a 'creative' response "thinking about our political and governing systems in terms that rebuild trust and community, connect to a sense of agency and participation that goes beyond elections, and centers individual and collective well-being." Other measures (the article offers examples ranging from protecting the marginalized, resisting unlawful orders, or strikes and protests) intended to protect the existing system do not bring about productive results. This reads like a "render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's" moment, but without the insight that there should not be a Caesar.
