The wonderfully summed up, lions led by donkeys.
People were also weary of being asked to risk laying down their lives only to return to shit living conditions and work practices.
In essence, people now are soft, have short memories/lazy pampered assholes and we're tossing away all that progress for shiney shit and X Factor soul rot.
By the time this lot leave office enough will have been broken down that it will be unrealistic to expect the next mob to repair or replace it. Which is exactly to plan imo.
I agree.
But it is perhaps even more problematic that those who recognise the bullshit we're fed are driven into apathy by their perception of the power of the behemoth and futility of struggle.
Moaning on the internet is one thing - I do it all the time and think it's fine - meet new people, argue, debate blah blah - - but I think there is no excuse for those who are pissed off to not do
something in their community, involve themselves with
some campaign.
You may end up doing something very small with just a few people, but it's a matter of asking yourself if you
tried, if you at least attempted to stand up and speak out as opposed to just sitting there doing nothing but moaning about it. And if there's nothing going on the community - you can always try to start something. IMO it's the clued up people who are too lazy/scared/beaten into apathy who are worse. They know better and it's no good moaning about the masses not stirring into action unless you're actively trying to make it happen.
That's what I think anyway.
