Actors and celebrities can draw attention to certain topics and raise questions that may then lead to an awakening or a shift in consciousness. But they cannot be the saviors of the people or the messiah

An Epidemic of Hope: Stepping Out of the Muddle of Mature Opposition

Hope gained a political articulation. It's not just that the people got sick of the regime: they got sick of it a long time ago.

Capitulation to protests: A tactical move

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, was defeated by "the street". At least in one isolated case. It has been shown that in a progressive democracy, the recipe is for citizens to fight for their vital interests, to gather in sufficient numbers on the streets, to be persistent enough, not to be afraid of arrest, not to back down in front of beatings, to come up with sufficiently radical demonstrations and to they organize well
