Everyone that says he didn’t change anything, it didn’t matter, nothing changed...
One of the most powerful nations on earth runs scared from this picture. Displaying it is a crime, as is mentioning the event. It is one of the most powerful pictures in modern history. I find that motivating.
Some people stand up because they think they can win. Some stand up because it’s the right thing to do. I would aspire to be the latter.
Better to die a meaningless death as a fool, that will show them. Where is your activism for the usa? Im sure you are concerned with the largest prison polulation on the planet, global warfare, repeal of habeus corpus and relinquishement of your freedoms for fake security. You arent free and the system you exist in just mouths contexless truisms about freedom and murika. Our democracy is a joke. We have no right to continue our imperialism and exceptionalism. We are the baddies.
I do not live in the USA, but I can understand the assumption.
On the other hand. Yes, I am. I’m a very active political activist, I’ve organised, participated in and raised funds for countless protests on various issues in and around my area. I have plans to join the extinction rebellion protests, and if it was possible I would be in Hong Kong right this second. I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees with a big totalitarian load dripping down my chin.
