Reply #136: I wish I had

[Prophet 451]

In terms of what "message" something delivers to the world, no nation's closet is clean. The UK has Royalty. The US puts profit above people and is wildly hypocritical. France is extremely racist in many areas. You see my point? In terms of messages, the fact that we have Royalty, when they have zero power and we're entirely honest that they're there by accident of birth, is fairly minor.

With regard to the protests: I walked away from the fight a few years ago when my mind started to fall apart. These days, I can barely walk, I can't stand for more than ten or twenty minutes and I get panic attacks when I leave the house but still, I wish I'd been there because I get the feeling this is the last time in my lifetime that this kind of street protest will even be tolerated. With as bad as things are going to get in the next few years (and they're going to get really bad), I so desperately wish I was able to stand with the students. Because teh bastards in charge are sociopathic and they're going to fuck everything up and people are going to die. I just wish I knew what to do.
