Look I’m old, I’ve shouted from the rooftops how fucked this world is my whole adult life.
I’m tired. Maybe that’s exhaustion from being beat down by a system, behing hyper aware you’re being beat down by it, and at every step people telling you you are “alarmist.” I’m fucking wrecked tired. I don’t have it in me anymore.
I did my fucking bit. If you still have the energy, fucking go for it. But don’t wag your fucking finger at us olds who have literally never shut the fuck up about any of these issues, voted like our lives depended on it, and are fucking exhausted by it after decades of it.
We did our fucking bit, it’s not our fault no one listened and we have no political power beyond our vote.
I’ve been underpaid my entire god damned life, it’s not like I’ve had the economic or political power to make changes.
Hell, I’ve even had the union talk at several workplaces and was always in the minority of people who wanted a union. Never been lucky enough to have a union job.
Stop lecturing people who have done their bit over and over and over and over and over and over and over like they’re not contributing just because they’re finally completely exhausted by it all.
I’m not wagging my finger at anyone. I heard you shouting it from the rooftops tops and now I’m shouting it from behind a keyboard. I’m just keeping the idea from being forgotten.
