I learned a lot this year. I think our media exalts the peaceful bloodless protest, because it is a comforting lie to think you are an honorable person for being passive and not resisting.

Im reading it now, thank you.

Lately people are starting to come around to ways social media makes people sick, and understanding consequences of the information age; from my experience the first casualty of this was not our attention spans, but our will to resist. Apparently just telling people your opinions on things anonymously gratifies your ego just enough without having to sign a petition, or stand outside in a line. “I’m so passionate about this subject I spend every waking moment talking about it online.; uh yeah I can’t make it to the protest sorry, It’s like a 30 minute drive and I have work in the morning.”
