      Are we beyond the point of protests yet? Our politicians are actively taking affirmative steps to avoid listening to them.

        We have been far past that point for a long while but nobody cares.
        Peaceful weekend protests might make people feel like they’re doing something but are not successful. You have to disrupt the economy for people to notice general strikes massive protests.

      Oh I will, all the way up to age 60. I’m not going to wait quietly for old age. I have lots of time to flick off conservatives.

      But do I actually have any hope at all?

      nope!

        Our problem is apathy. It is much more of us than them.

        If we succeed and still have democracy the laws can be reverted, but as I mentioned the apathy is the biggest problem and the reason how we got where we are.

      That is such a funny fucking joke you made there old buddy old pal. “We got out of them” no we didn’t you fool do you see where we are now?? This has been a build up of events that have happened before. Ignoring that is just plain ignorant and dangerous to the situation at hand, we got here because we never truly “got out of them”.

      By all means fight the good fight and keep your friends, families, and neighbors safe. However, we need to stop placating people with this rhetoric.
