This hits home... Esp the non-profit VS revolution bit

"It's important to recognize that a revolution won't be launched by consensus. As organizers or volunteer leaders, you need to propose a strategic plan and invite others to join you. Don't worry about being undemocratic.
If your plan is not smart enough, not enough people will join you, and you can give up on the revolution and become a small nonprofit instead! Any group of changemakers—from a small affinity group to a large organization to a revolutionary movement with clear demands—
can benefit from adopting this rule. Create a centralized strategic plan using whatever process is right for your movement. Make sure the plan has tasks that can be repeated by volunteers that add up to progress on the plan. Then delegate chunks of work from your plan to
a distributed network of volunteer leaders who can work across space and time, and in the numbers necessary, to meet concrete goals and make change possible. "

Sounds clever. Pithy. Folksy.

Here is the problem:
a) The image crystallizes the rural-urban divide so that
all the clever, worldly city folk can laugh at how backward, racist, and redneck those of us who LIVE here are.
b) It erases all the diversity of towns and landscapes that are the REAL #ruralpatchwork. Does he know that Monroe county went for Biden in 2020? That West Hazleton
elected it's first Dominican-American officials in 2020? That Montour county moved several points towards Biden?
c) That the rural-urban divide is a lynchpin of the racist #dogwhistle politics that pits us against each other and paints rural as authentic "real" people while
