Reply #232: The opposite of action is inaction

[Bluenorthwest]

All movement is action, but not all action is movement. Alter's use of words is just so much gibberish. It is a poorly crafted way of saying my group is called 'better' and yours is called 'the other group'. His labels, and those of most here who seek so constantly to have frames and labels for others, exist almost entirely as passive aggressive forms of speaking about others.
If a person wishes to take on an identity for themselves, wonderful. But anyone who feels that in order to do so, they must also assign identities to others is simply out of line. If your political positions can not stand there on their own, without playing compare and contrast games, you really don't have positions, just personality traits.
Movement is an action that involves a change of location or position. Action without movement involves no progress. So if we look at the two words as meaning 'those who want to move' and 'those who would rather stay here, but maybe get new rugs' how many would run to say 'let's stay right here, with the lack of jobs, the stress, the divisions'?
But movement is not possible without action, the opposite of action is inaction, movement is action plus direction.
Flailing is an action, walking is movement. And I will gladly say that I am not about the flailing. I am, and always have been, about getting somewhere.
