I love your post.
I loved all the similar posts I've been seeing over the years.
And there have been quite a few.
You're absolutely right.
So were they.
And here we are.
And here we'll be in another ?? years.
It just never changes. It's always just THIS.
I wish it were different and people did make those changes happen.
But they don't.
And they won't.
It was too late a long time ago.
Now I don't know what you'd call it.

But even it our "nutjob" world, there have been events that there is so much evidence to support that it no longer becomes a conspiracy "theory". The events and these labels are no longer just ideas, they are provable facts in some way or another,
Am I the only person who, when realizing that the mere idea of a government being involved in the slaying of over 3,000 of its own people, has the sudden and unyielding urge to END that government?

As long as people have money in their pockets, food on the table and a roof over their heads, they're content. Unless their backs are against the wall or their lively hood is threatened, will people make their voices heard. The majority of working class people are between a rock and a hard place. They have family and financial responsibilities. Stepping outside this bubble is a risk the majority can't take. Take some of that away, you will than have stirred up a hornets nest.

Even if there were leaders, would anyone follow? Would anyone step away and actually follow a cause and risk it all?
Or would they continue to do nothing in fear of what might happen?
There can be leaders out there... but is there anyone left that would follow or would they just tear that leader apart on the idea of being an individual and continued fighting amongst ourselves?

What am I revolting against? I have a good job that I don't mind working hard at. Ive got a good education I don't mind paying for as it afforded me the job. I'm married to a great woman because I took my time and didn't knock up some 17 year old when I was 19. My kids are well behaved because I set that expectation early. I can go and do anything I choose in the world provided I can afford the cost. There is no "they" for me to revolt against. MY life is a direct result of my choices and effort. Those mired in the regret of THEIR choices tend to lash out at others. Which is what your proposing. You need a villain because it can't be your fault your where you are in life.
