This old video really speaks to the nature of sadit and places like it.

Great clip. I'd also like to know what the movie is.

The rest of the stuff you posted is a rabbit hole, but if I'm getting you, you're saying that Saidit is either controlled opposition to keep troublemakers contained and otherwise occupied, or it's a gateway for like minded people to congregate and assist one another in leaving the agreed upon order behind. Is that a reasonable summary?

Correction:
leavingthe agreed upon order the Pyramidian System that was shoved upon everyone behind
AND build a System that would work for everyone.

 
I am posing the question, for OP and other Saiditors like yourself, to be the judge.

Thanks for the clarification. It's an interesting question, but I don't see it as either / or.

When I was younger, I was certainly interested in challenging the existing system and convincing people to try building alternatives together. Now that I have less vim and vigor, it occurs to me that I'd rather just do my own thing and not upset the apple cart that many people are so invested in. I'm not going to flout the laws of my society, but if there are rules that might prevent me from trying something I want to do and doing it won't hurt anyone, I will likely go ahead and ignore the rule in question. But I'm not going to publicize it as a revolutionary act. I'm just looking for a life that I'll be content with.

So, as in the clip, I'll play by their rules and I'll go my own way. Does that mean I'm a revolutionary or a traitor to the revolution? Maybe both, and I'm okay with that.

I'm not going to publicize it as a revolutionary act.

Under Direct Change:

  • there is no need for protests / strikes / confrontations
  • The real revolution that has to take place is people's mind - shun usurpation (Hint: Stop following the 1%)
     

I'm not going to flout the laws of my society, but if there are rules that might prevent me from trying something I want to do and doing it won't hurt anyone, I will likely go ahead and ignore the rule in question.

Sure AND no one would morally be able to go against those working towards a usurper-free society: economically, politically, socially, and health-wise (physically & mentally) - all aspects (to be) covered in this "rabbit hole"
that in summary is this:
Since 99% > 1%, let's normalize usurper-free Dom with these:

  • Direct Change, (meaning let's do change ourselves) instead of Indirect / Gatekeeper-ed, Top-Down Change

    • Community Walls, to decenter corp social (control) media
    • Producers & Mutual Credits and more, to decenter corp usury money
    • Co-ops4All, to decenter corporations
    • Co-opecracy, to decenter corporatocracy

and to realize all these, let's have Accretive Dialogue, rather than idle chatter

Sure, I can dig that.
