It's cute in a "we're still trying to fight a nazi coup with memes" kinda way

Launching a probe is so, so far away from what it would take to "grow a pair."

The people downvoting you don't want to be burdened with the understanding that their yelling at clouds in online forums isn't just worthless, it's the best possible response a fascist coup could hope for.

People get to feel like their shock and anger are being heard and their likes and upvotes comfort them that they're not alone. Then they go to sleep that night telling themselves that with a post that got that much traction, surely someone out there is going to go out and change something. But they're not, because they're making their own posts and comments, believing that they're also doing their part.

The Civil War, The Women's Suffrage Movement, Civil Rights - none of these things would have started much less succeeded if social media had existed then. People would still be posting today about how it's so reprehensible that white people can own another human, get their upvotes, and wait for someone else to do something about it.

I can't believe people don't want to drive their own swaskicar.

Big, tough words from another armchair revolutionist. It's easy to tell other people to put themselves and their families in harm's way when your "contribution" to the fight amounts to screaming at clouds. You call other people fools when you've thoroughly fooled yourself into believing that all your anger and hate in internet forums is comparable to real sacrifice.

I'm not sure how that's possible. He appears to be the weakest, most fragile coward one could imagine.

I'm sure she's not as amenable to all the biblical rights that men have over her.

As of this comment, I'm guessing the 3 people who down-voted this post do.
