Oftentimes, I get caught up in my day-to-day.
The bullshit of it all.
The stupid fucking tasks my project managers give me.
The endless spew of bullshit my customers tell me.
The expectations society sets for me.
It's likely that you relate in some way.
But, you might ask "what can we do about it?".
Which, well, is a fucking loaded question.
So, let's talk about just that.
Every protest I've been to has had some set of underlying goals.
Whether this be a set of demands, visibility for their issue,
or merely for others to take their cause seriously.
You might have some demands yourself.
Maybe you've faced some hardship you wish nobody else would
ever have to face.
Maybe you're part of a marginalised community, and you need
to fight to fucking exist.
Maybe you hate the hypergrowth forced upon us by late-stage capitalism.
Or perhaps you're an ally to those fighting for their rights
to exist.
If you fit any of these categories, protesting may be for you.
Sometimes, during a protest, you may find yourself
sitting on university steps, listening to a shitty
guitarist, wondering what the actual fuck you're doing.
Othertimes, you're having a really constructive conversation about
your goals as a community, and as a person.
Both may exist simultaneously.
That's the beauty of protest, in a way.
Permission to mirror, repost, edit, review, etc is given so long as it's not for some dumb-ass, lame-ass, corporate fucking bullshit. If you need to ask if what you're doing is the former, it probably is. Go to hell.
