(3,747 posts)Be angry. Be very, very angry for what has been done to you, your family, your friends, your community, and your species by a few very wealthy and greedy people who feel they deserve everything at the expense of everyone else.
Get out in the streets--feel the energy out there. The streets are coming alive. Let that flow into you, and get ready to fight for your lives.
This isn't advocating for violence; quite the opposite, actually. I don't want violence--I want peace. I am advocating for change. Hell, it's DEMANDING change from the constant and everyday violence enacted on us by those who own us.
A revolution only needs to be as violent as the defenders of oppression make it.
If you can't summon up the motivation to do it for yourself, hear my plea: do it for me. Do it for those of us who will be alive when the environmental shit really hits the fan in 40 years. Do it for my brothers and sisters who will be jailed in the coming decades for the color of the skin and the amount of cash in their wallets and the size of the roof over their heads. Do it for the millions that will be killed in our constant wars of territorialism. Do it for the world. As dumb as that may sound, it's exactly what this fight comes down to.
Whose side are you on?
Get out there and fight the good fight despite all the motivation not to, because all we've got is solidarity with each other.
