Words look so cool when strung together to make a rallying statement of intent to act, don’t they.

But you all seem to always fall short of action.

There was supposed to be an uprising in November, December, January, February, March, shall I go on?

You all are so quick to climb over one another to be the first to pat yourselves on the back for typing up the coolest words to inspire OTHERS to act. You all salivate at the idea of bringing all types of violence to Nazis, the upper classes, the CEOs… yet, nothing. Words.

Here I’m only speaking the truth. I’ll make no apologies that you don’t like it or that it’s unpopular. Im too old and too tired of pretending to believe that any of you have the strength of conviction to leave your houses let alone begin a grassroots movement to make change. So forgive me for not buying into this make believe army of yours.

For fuck’s sake. Tend of thousands of you couldn’t be bothered to tick a fucking box to save democracy.

Now you’re wanting everyone to believe you’re willing to lay down your life for it? Pretend all you want bud. But don’t get mad when people call you out.

Fucking LOL.
