In this clip, Curtis Chang and David French make the case for a nearly homeless political posture: wanting real justice and real change, but pursuing it in an ordered way rather than a "smash everything" one. Together they explore Edmund Burke's warning from the French Revolution that revolutionary upheaval hurts the most vulnerable first, why both the right and the left are now driven by the same fear-fueled impulse to smash, the civil rights movement as the model of urgent justice held together with respect for law — Micah 6:8, and a civil disobedience that breaks a law and then submits to it — and why human institutions, "not an individual, and not a mob," are what let a society pursue justice without tipping into the tyranny of the despot or the tyranny of the crowd. You'll come away with better language for why you don't fit the binary.
