    I get the sentiment, but why not stand up and fight? Why not make this about saving the planet, because it really is.

      I’d be all for an uprising, if only it was as uncomplicated and low risk as video games and movies have demonstrated.

        I just want to say good on you for doing your part. And I also want to say that I don’t think the majority support extremes, I think it’s just that the extremists are SO much louder and so it’s all we hear. I think the majority are like you and me and just want someone reasonable to lead the country. Just keep voting, I know it feels like it doesn’t do anything but it’s our main way to really speak and it does matter.

        Side bar, if you’re a student it most likely means that you’re a lot younger than me and it makes me so sad that this is how you’ve had to see and live the world. No pressure but if you are younger the future is truly in your hands.

        The amount of people supporting authoritarian leaders is insane, its not 40 or 50%, its closer to 90%

        Who are you meeting? That’s not typical.

      Why not stand up and fight?

      You know, instead of preaching these infantile ideals in how to really make change. I’m more ready for individuals who actually have a more thought-out plan in how to achieve what we need to do.

      And so far, yet, I’ve not seen anyone really do it and I’d be including myself before anyone makes that jab later. It’s just very tiring to see people rush to social media and think that their posts will be heard or read that’ll make some significant impact. When, there’s absolutely no organizational structure in place or any motives in how to go about the things we all keep daydreaming of happening.

      Guess it’s too easy to daydream than get off of our asses and make the sacrifices required to make change. Not if we have to miss another minute of being online in a boring dystopia that is what the internet has become to all piss our time away looking at memes and making memes.
