Liberals always think that the process of getting their favorite policy enacted is just like this, simple: $ patch < reform.diff But that is never how it works. Your reform is not written up in the right format. This will just get you an error message. Actually, what you're doing is always, necessarily, this: $ cat reform.txt | nationalism | gender-binary | racial-fear | paternalism | party-system | plutocratic-interest | patch But what you get at the end of all those filters is always something quite different from what you were hoping for. Or if it was what you were hoping for, your hopes and dreams kind of suck.
