Making Repression Backfire

Описание: Animal rights lawyer and direct-action organiser Wayne Hsiung breaks down how to make repression backfire using a surprisingly practical framework: chaos theory.

He explains how small, risky actions can trigger outsized wins when you design feedback loops, solve the “day two” problem, and aim for exponential growth by building activist momentum (not chasing today’s public approval). Along the way: the Ridglan beagle rescue case, why prosecutors blink, and why movements need deep community, purpose, and stories of identifiable victims.
