    Movies are a couple hours long.

    In reality we don’t have a plot line. We have millions of plot lines on repetition.

    Real life morality means thinking about the really long term. And in the really long term the resistance fighters of the past are now the authoritarians you want to be a resistance fighter against.

    This is why people are skeptical of resistance fighters, and demand more of them than merely being in that position on the board. They have to be the right people, fighting for the right thing. And those people aren’t always the ones who look most romantic.
