Nah. Not a revolution. Just a purging of stupidity

That's what a revolution is, a purging of what the revolutionary group considers to be stupidity, or evil. And their judgement is, of course, impeccable XP.

the boy makes a damn good point!


I for one and sick and tired of slaving and toiling away so the *insert group here* can live on the backs of my efforts even though I'm just a collage student living in an expensive dorm or at home, working on getting my Extremely Useful Liberal arts and or gender studies degree on my parents dime!

We need change, so sign me up for *insert giga-tripe Ideology here* Revaluation cant happen soon enough! No matter what we do we need to destroy capitalism first!

Is early 20s around when the kids start screaming revolution? I think it was in my 20s...

Ironically, he's not wrong. But nothing's going to change. The only solution is to kill everyone. I'm not saying do it, I'm just saying that nothing short of killing everyone will effect real change. They're like robots, and they can't be reasoned with. Assimilate or fight or whatever, none of it ever changes anything. It's like standing in a hurricane and trying to settle it down by exhaling really hard. 7 billion people and most of them don't even realize they have no control of their own lives. How can people so blind change anything?

I recently watched the new Rambo flick, which besides being not terrible, emphasized this point, when a "relief volunteer" was asking Rambo to lead her team into a warzone and he's like "Did you bring guns?" She says no and he's like "You're not going to change anything."

I hope it's okay I'm gonna save this pic. it's fantastic art and a fantastic point.

The world changes all the time, usually regionally, rarely internationally. That you can't see it happen in real time, or that you can't just change it on a whim (and it requires extreme circumstances that benefits almost nobody to do so) causes the misanthropes, nihilists and defeatists sulk in self-imposed misery and sulk away to contemplate (but never commit) suicide.

I swear it's not just me, but I think the description of this piece is a line from "Us and Them" by Pink Floyd.

I want to relate to this piece, but I'm kind of afraid to do so IRL.

Still a nice piece though.

I feel like part of this is also bashing young people for having a political opinion about the world, which tends to be the grumblings of very old people who sometimes end up having the exact same thought at the end of the day. When I was 19, I ended up being totally right about AIG using the bailout money for personal luxuries and not, you know, bailing themselves out. When I was in my teens, one of my first serious story drafts was about America becoming an insane, paranoid, ultra-conservative, authoritarian country focused exclusively on war, which 1: was kind of the road we were going down during the Bush era and previously Cold War, and 2: isn't the first time someone wrote a story based around that concept. My more recent story drafts around this subject apply the same concept to the entire world, and a proto-authoritarian philosophy that disguises itself as Social-Darwinist Randian Anarchism

When I was 20, I wrote a college essay that broke down the statistics in gun violence in this country and overseas, and broke down how the existence of guns themselves wasn't the problem, but a complex myriad of problems (like the aforementioned obsession with war) that seem hard-coded into our culture and possibly our mentality as a species, and violence in video games and movies are also just a side effect of this mentality (especially when most of them aren't even made in the US).

I also fairly recently wrote a small essay about the dangers of violent revolutions, namely our obsession with them as a culture (which is, again, hard-coded into our culture because of our country's history) despite being a world-leading superpower for several generations as of this hour. Hell, even the Abrahamic religions are heavily based on this idea.

What you refer to here is more of an aftershock of the general rebellious teen phase, and is largely just a minority. The real face of wannabe revolutionaries, the kind that listen to Alex Jones as the gospel truth, are extreme hard-right by nature, are much, MUCH older and tend to name themselves with ultra-religious leanings or in a way that deifies the Founding Fathers and romanticizes American Revolution or even the Confederates, depending on what part of the country they are in. We saw an explosion of them pop up in the Obama era, and they currently number somewhere just under a thousand. The worst ones are mostly crazies who live in the middle of nowhere, staging countless paramilitary drills and waving their right to shoot on sight anyone they claim is trespassing on their territory.

Anyone of sound mind who reads a few minutes into what happened when revolutions failed (or the wrong ones won) would turn them off to violent revolutions and overthrows forever, but the people who need that memo tend to be the older generations, in my experience.

It isn't a strictly political thing, it's more about concluding that the world is a huge sack of shit, that it needs to be fixed and that a particular ideology is the way to go about it. Maybe it's a religion, or a political ideology. But it stems from a place of bitterness, misanthropy and malcontent with the world, with existing itself. Naturally, one can find this in any age group, but I find it is far more common in the young. The younger one is, the less time one has had to experience life and the more narrow ones focus has, by necessity of development, been. A general statement regarding a trend is never going to account for everybody, so your personal anecdotes are irrelevant to it, really.

Misanthropes (hate all humans), nihilists (nothing can ever be changed and nobody has any freedom), and defeatists (everything will suck forever). Nobody likes those little shits; people who read Catcher in the Rye and learned all the wrong lessons from it. The internet tends to be lousy with them, but they're far less inclined to revolution than the next least-inclined "group" (see above nihilism and defeatism). They mostly just force themselves into any discussion, ramble about how pointless and worthless everything is, and in more extreme circumstances, preach the "virtues" of a bullet to the brain, self-inflicted or otherwise.

" The younger one is, the less time one has had to experience life and the more narrow ones focus has, by necessity of development, been.


While I agree with that, it also is heavily based on the fickle bitch of the human element combined with your access to information, or your ability and diligence to seek it out and better yourself. The saying with age comes wisdom is half of a fallacy, because the frequently-omitted second half of the quote by Oscar Wilde reads "but sometimes age comes alone."

Unfortunately, too many people erroneously think that wisdom comes naturally and always, that it is in essence the participation award you receive from getting older. The past few years should have easily demolished any illusions that that is the case.

Misanthropes don't have to hate all humans, it is a hatred of humanity as a whole. Individual people can be liked and respected by a misanthrope, just the overall conclusion is that humanity is a negative, destructive force on balance. Its true that age doesn't confer upon people wisdom in and of itself, there's no reason why it would. However, 40 year-old you is going to be far more experienced and knowledgeable than 20 year-old you, barring some severe brain injury or breakdown. I don't believe anybody, any age, is qualified to assess what is required by society as a whole to thrive. These things are worked out slowly as a negotiating process across a society of people, so I believe when an individual thinks they know what is best and that "best" involves engineering vast swathes of social institutions, they are not going to suggest anything that will actually function. Like turning Western countries socialist or fascist, for example.

I find the impulse to believe one knows what all of society needs to do to be suspect from the start. It is even more laughable when someone young says it, considering almost the entire time they've been alive has had to be focused on developing as a human being in the first place and learning the very basics. One needs to be sensible and take note of the extent to which ideological positions are motivated by feelings, particularly resentful, bitter, confused and vengeful feelings.

A country could get so far gone that nothing can change it...In such a case, that's when you are better off to leave it.

Oddly enough, I don't think I've ever felt the need for a full blown revolution.

A yearly allowance on the ability to stooge slap certain people silly, but not a revolution.

People are unwilling to do what needs to be done.  When the resources run out, and the world can no longer support the overpopulation, someone will make the choices for them.  They won't like it a lot more then than they would now.

The people that believe we can live on the moon or Mars need to stop dreaming about being probed by aliens.

I was like this in my teens, then I started thinking about actually trying to change things, so I voted, I downloaded alternate browsers and search engines to avoid google as much as possible, etc. Now I'm in my twenties and just hate that kind of person, yet my almost seventy year old grandfather is literally this. Like the actually thinks trump should be assassinated level of like this, despite having literally been around for the assassinations of M.L.K. and Kennedy, and as such knowing first hand how bad it would be.

I like to look at it like this:

I'm not doing anything but that's better than actively working toward a harmful goal. Activism isn't just about throwing everything at a wall until change happens. It's very possible that not only can you harm your own cause, but you can even wreak collateral havoc in getting your desired progress by any means necessary.

Meant to reply to Vanren but too late for that.

All righty then
Picture this if you will

10 to 2 am, X, yogi DMT, and a box of krispy kreme's in my "need to know" pose just outside of area 51, contemplating the whole chosen people thingy when just then a flaming stealth banana split the sky like one would hope but never really expect to see in a place like this. Cutting right angle donuts on a dime and stopping right at my birkinstocks, and me yelping "holy fuckin' shit!"

Then the X file being, looking like some kinda blue green Jackie chan, with Isabella Rossellini lips, and breath that reeked of vanilla chig champa, did a slow mo matrix decent outta the butt end of the banana vessel, and hovered above my bug eyes, my gaping jaw, and my sweaty L. Ron Hubbard upper lip and all I could think was, "I hope uncle martin here doesn't notice that I pissed my fuckin pants!!"

So light in his way, like an apparition, he'd had me crying out...
"Fuck me!
It's gotta be
The dead head
Chemistry
The blotter got right on top o' me
Got me seeing E mutha fuckin T!"

And after calming me down with some orange slices and some fetal spooning, E.T. revealed to me his singular purpose. He said. "you are the chosen one. The one who will deliver the message. A message of hope for those who choose to hear it, and a warning for those who do not." Me! The chosen one. They chose me!!!! And I didn't even graduate from fuckin' high school!!

(You'd better listen)

Then he looked right through me with somniferous almond eyes
Don't even know what that means
Must remember to write it down
This is so real
Like the time Dave floated away
See, my heart is pounding cuz this shit never happens to me.

Can't breathe right now.

It was so real
Like I woke up in Wonderland
All sorta terrifying
I don't wanna be all alone
While I tell this story
And can anyone tell me why y'all sound like peanuts parents?
Will I ever be coming down?
This is so real
Finally it's my lucky day
See, my heart is racing cuz this shit never happens to me

Can't breathe right now.

You believe me don't you?
Please believe what I've just said
See, the dead ain't touring and this wasn't all in my head
See they took me by the hand
And invited me right in
Then they showed me something
I don't even know where to begin

Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead?
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed

Overwhelmed as one would be placed in my position
Such a heavy burden now to be the one
Born to bear and bring to all the details of our ending
To write it down for all the world to see
But I forgot my pen
Shit the bed again
Typical


Strapped down to my bed
Feet cold and eyes red
I'm out of my head
Am I alive? Am I dead.
Sunkist and Sudafed
Gyroscopes and infrared
Won't help. I'm brain dead
Can't remember what they said
God damn, shit the bed


Can't remember what they said to me
Can't remember what they said to make me out to be a hero
Can't remember what they said
Bob help me
Can't remember what they said


We don't know and we won't know
God damn shit the bed



>figured id post a paragraph since everyone else is.

Nice color choice though.
