- I’m too academic not to cite my sources. Ammon Hennacy and Gandhi said force is the weapon of the weak. The “engine of survival” is from a song by Leonard Cohen called The Future. And should be referenced in full.
- Force is the weapon of the weak. It’s not a true display of power. Love will always outlast force. Because it’s the only true engine of survival.

The very last thing he did was try to help a woman who had been pepper-sprayed and violently shoved to the ground by ICE. 1/
