growing increasingly tired over the state of fucking everything, everywhere.

been getting less and less financial aid from this site because everybody is fucking struggling now. at what point do we just riot and force change, or are we all doomed to servitude and the theft of our labor for the rest of our fucking lives

"why don't you start the revolution yourself, hoot?"

yes, command the disabled faggot to spill the first ounce of blood, as society has always done. surely this putrid, rotting aristocracy will crumble at the feet of a cripple.

and no, no one on this site has said this to me personally. but i have certainly seen chatter in the past on other sites and communities, where responses to wishes for a revolution were met with a flippant "so start one."

i think this is the single biggest issue with leftists; we lost our desire to spill blood. we care too much about appearing righteous, while doing verbal battle with underhanded scumfucks who wish for our death through prayer, thought and action.

we used to spill blood for our cause. now we do as we're told; we protest, we yell, we cause inconvenience, but that's the strongest of it. and what comes of our pleasant, by comparison at least, behavior? have we caused change by shouting and holding signs? have we, truly?

Leftists would rather splinter into sub-factions than set aside minute differences for five seconds and unite in every way that ought to matter, that has been a sad fact of life for decades. At the same time, I also appreciate, in a very cynical way, who's ready to say "so start one." It's an extremely clear sign that also means, "Go ahead, I won't back you up."

If we really are to start a revolution, knowing exactly who you can count on and who you can't is... well... of the utmost importance, really. The real revolution, unfortunately, is gonna have to involve undoing everything that's considered "normal and proper". Notions like "Violence is never the answer" or ideas like "if we only elect the right people THIS time everything will be fixed."

All of these things boil down to "Go ahead, I won't back you up" but in an even worse sense. If violence is never acceptable except for the people who we (societal-we) have designated violence is their jobs (aka, cops, armed government agents in general), then they retain the monopoly of violence, and they never have anything to worry about. Our little protests are not enough, they know it, they count on it.

The real revolution is gonna have to start by making a whole lot of people realize their reasonable beliefs have been killing us slowly. And that's why everything is so hard right now. I almost wish I was ignorant again, but I can't go back.

It's tiresome to hope that in a few decades, being LGBT, being not cis, being not white, being a minority of some description, will be slightly more acceptable than the last decade. It is so tiresome. Especially when we're dying little by little while we wait.
