Charlie Angus - The Resistance - July 30, 2025
EXCERPT: "Resistance movements begin with those who bring the initial spark. Psychologist Cass Sunstein describes these actors as "zeros." They play the part of pushing others to get involved. These individuals who get motivated to join become the "ones" who then pass the work on to another group, known as the "twos."
Once the chain reaction moves from zeros to ones to twos, a chain reaction of social change becomes possible. I think of G. K. Chesterton, who describes the powerful combination of people coming together.
"Through all this ordeal, his root horror had been isolation, and there are no words to express the abyss between isolation and having one ally. It may be conceded to the mathematicians that four is twice two. But two is not twice one; two is two thousand times one." - G. K. Chesterton, The Man Who Was Thursday . . . . ."
