Every time I see "eat the rich" and something about guillotines I just laugh, and then sigh because I know it will literally never happen. Social media is a relief valve, we all bitch about it here and then go on doing absolutely nothing about it.
Not everyone is doing nothing. Some people are doing something. You can do something today, too, even if it's small.
Don't bother responding, this is a form of propaganda meant to cause non action .
For example, calling out propaganda is doing something. :) Thanks, @JoJoGAH.
I wish I was getting paid.
When the fuck did exasperation become propaganda meant to dissuade people from taking action?
This is like the third time I've seen someone comment about my comment being intentional propaganda.... We've really become a paranoid bunch haven't we?
If you're not creating the propaganda then you're sharing it. Unless you think "might as well not do anything because it's pointless" is an original thought you had.
I never said "might as well not do anything." I was expressing exasperation with the fact that no one ever does anything but talk, "laughing" at the guillotines and eat the rich talk because thats all it ever is, and stating my opinion that when we bitch about it on social media we are letting off steam that would have possibly been the motivation that moved us in years past.
I want us to do something, but most people realistically won't go and start a bloody revolution because I think deep down we do all want a peaceful way to fix our problems.
Louis and Marie thought the same thing.
