Do you protest? Armchair or street and does any of it matter?
#17
RE: Do you protest? Armchair or street and does any of it matter?
I don't even protest from my arm chair I just vaguely moan about stuff.
Realistically I think for anything to make a change it has to be against something that's preventing people's food supply, stopping people from seeing their family, basic needs not being met and not just to a few but to a large part of the population.
I get annoyed at loads of stuff on the news, hearing that we're invading another country, we pledge aid to another country, some child molester got a light prison sentence. I admit as long as I have to go to work and go take my kids out I'm pretty busy and don't have the energy or motivation to go protest.
I genuinely wonder sometimes what would make people really stop and protest. I think most people even if they heard that half of their countries money was being spent on war or on the dictators new palace would put up with it as long as they have a job, can eat and go back to their families.

Anyway they have protests for some pretty wild stuff, in the UK people protested because someone got locked up in Dubai. Everyone knows you can't fuck around in Dubai it's not like doing a BLM style protest in central london is going to make a difference to what happens over there.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
