Woah! Woah! Woah! What's with that kind of talk? Are you serious? Things seem bleak, yes, sure. We have so much that has happened and so much that is going to continue to happen. We're not even going to talk about all of the great things that have happened since the civil rights era. Let's just look at today.

Thanks to the internet, we have a wealth of information available to us that shines a light on the injustices of the world like never before. Political tom-fuckery, police brutality, race issues, drug issues, on and on and on. The reason you're seeing so many problems now and the reason it feels so overwhelming is because people are able to share more and more information, faster than ever possible. Knowing about the problems of the world and talking about them is the first step in solving them. Just look at what the internet has done to help bring to light about natural disasters around the world and how quickly support for these people has become a global, community effort.

Part of the reason politicians and corporate whores are being such monsters right now is because they know this, so they're trying to double down while they can. Change is coming, change is inevitable, but change also needs to be slow. Abrupt change almost always ends in disaster. To be a part of that change, all you need to do is do right in your own backyard. It doesn't even have to be big or revolutionary. Find something that's a problem that you yourself personally care about and you yourself feel like you can contribute to and work on it. Actions, both positive and negative, causes ripples. By doing nothing, even on a small scale, you're sending a message to every fuckhead in power that they can do what they want.
