Quotable: Naomi Klein on social change

“If there is one thing I admire about the diagonalists and other denizens of the Mirror World, it’s that they still believe in the idea of changing reality, an ambition that I fear too many on this side of the glass have lost. We shouldn’t make up facts like they do, but we should stop treating a great many human-made systems — like monarchies and supreme courts and borders and billionaires — as immutable and unchangeable. Because everything some humans created can be changed by other humans. And if our present systems threaten life to its very core, and they do, then they must be changed.”

–Naomi Klein, from Doppelganger: A Trip into the Mirror World
