In reply to the discussion: Has it ever occurred to you that "incrementalism" is really ... [View all]... there always seems to be some excuse or other for not taking the steps needed to really address the issues.
every crisis there ever was, it's always been the lower classes that were the ones that were told they have to sacrifice .. but 'trust us', as soon as we recover from this crisis we promise we will put your issues as our number one priority ... but seems there is always the 'next crisis' to deal with, so rather than address your issues, the issues we promised to address before, we are going to have to ask you to wait even longer, but soon, we promise; Oh, and by the way, this new crisis? Well, we need to ask you to sacrifice a little bit extra for this one as well, but don't worry, when this all clears up, your priorities are our priorities ... promise!!.
That's 'incrementalism' ... we incrementally ask you to sacrifice, while we incrementally cause other excuses to incrementally put off recognizing your sacrifices while incrementally asking you to sacrifice even more.
