Miha’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Pranksters vs. Autocrats: Why Dilemma Actions Advance Nonviolent Activism

Pranksters vs. Autocrats: Why Dilemma Actions Advance Nonviolent Activism by Srdja Popovic

3 highlights

Fear and apathy drive the status quo and block positive social change in any society that hopes for a better future. But humor melts fear and earns goodwill, often adding a “cool factor” to activism that draws support.

Miha’s Quotes

“Far from helping students to develop into mature, self-reliant, self-motivated individuals, schools seem to do everything they can to keep youngsters in a state of chronic, almost infantile, dependency. The pervasive atmosphere of distrust, together with rules covering the most minute aspects of existence, teach students every day that they are not people of worth, and certainly not individuals capable of regulating their own behavior.”
― Alfie Kohn, Punished By Rewards: Twenty-Fifth Anniversary Edition: The Trouble with Gold Stars, Incentive Plans, A's, Praise, and Other Bribes
