Really good post, @jacobtothe. Having been around for a awhile, your ideas sound a little like the "passive resistance" ideas from the past. I think in these wretched (and I do think present times are pretty awful)times, the temptation is to get swept up in the violent, knee-jerk, rhetoric. And actually, as you have suggested, it is more important than ever to proceed with thoughtfulness and wisdom, remaining true to ones ideals and in that way exemplify the beginning of the needed changes.
And that golden rule thing never goes out of style. Inspirational post.
