I had a long discussion about this with some friends today. At what point is it too far gone? Day by day it seems like things devolve even further. The injustice is overwhelming. I ask myself why do any of us put up with this bullshit? Am I the odd man out? Is everyone else just okay with this shit show? We are endlessly exploited to make the rich richer while being squeezed for every penny we have to give. Our healthcare sucks, wages suck, the cost of almost everything sucks, and the scouts is hard at work chipping away at fucking voting rights amongst other things. I despise this fucking country at this point but I still wonder how much do we have to lose before the majority people actually give a shit?

Organise. Even if it’s just mentally. They want you in despair. They want you scared to lift your head. Remind others of their worth, as that message won’t come from upwards.

You be the magnificent human you are and do the jive turkey dance.
