    Just as subservience breeds subjugation, so choosing between differing forms of exploitation can only result in continued exploitation. Being asked to choose between capitalism and fascism does not change the direction we are travelling in, it only marginally changes the route we are taking to get there.

      I like that phrasing, goes well with ‘civility breeds cowardice’.

          My own, used often in the same context you use yours.

          Civility breeds cowardice, when will people learn that their civility has been abused by those with hands on their throats and their wallets.

                  Contrary to the popular idiom, “Practice” does not indeed “make perfect”. Only perfect practice does, when imperfect practice only instills imperfection under the guise of labor and “sunk cost”. Either revel in glorious mediocrity or strive to do better than yesterday. No judgement, it’s up to each of us as individuals.
