The time for revolution is not now, my son. Let's just fucking get to February intact.
This person doesn’t want a revolution. They want attention and validation. I wish for them only that they realize there are better paths forward, and that we all get to share is a brighter future.
I wonder what they're like in real life
If they need to be taken out for lunch or to just talk about things they geek out about, I hope they find someone to accommodate them.
Their posts indicate a lot of passion and free time which means there is an opportunity for them to make a big difference in this world.
I think South Park did an episode on this guy during his WoW phase.
Not now?
I voted for Bernie as many times as I could legally. I wrote him in on my 2016 ballot even though in my state that gets your vote thrown out. I voted for him in our primary even after he withdrew. I think the way forward is taking that Killer Mike energy and using it to oust Donald Trump from the collective consciousness. All those problems are still there, but for the first time in many election cycles I feel a little safer and optimistic having Kamala as a candidate, even though I didn't know a thing about her on Saturday. Our battle is against nihilism and apathy and greed, and against the kingdom of fear that Fox News has shat out at High Volume for the past 25+ years. We've been lied to. We've been used poorly. And the danger is still there, but there's hope again. Tenuously. Maybe she is the revolution. Her and that astronaut.
