    all the more reason to get off the hamster wheel. you can live your whole life struggling and wishing and wondering on your death bed what it was all for or you can be the generation that saved the world.

    but you do you.

      Or instead of saving the world you and your group fail, your group is now considered terrorists, and the knee jerk reaction of those in power removes more of the people’s freedoms and oppresses them more, all in an effort to ensure that little uprising doesn’t happen again.

      I agree something needs to be done, but it’ll have to be done with elections and legislation that protects that progress from being dismantled by the next party that might not agree with that change.

      Sustainable change is a slow process. Sometimes that process is so slow you might not see the results in your lifetime.
