I look at it this way: a future for humanity where everybody is cowering before "big brother" is not worth calling that. So, why would I prepare for a case that is so bad that any nuances in it are essentially meaningless? Instead, I would rather be counted as someone who bit back at the very least, no matter in how small and futile a way. If the revolution comes, that will be my Persilschein, and if it doesn't, I'd rather be taken away sooner than later. You might say, I'm not as worried about "evil" people with power not liking me because they project their own sickness, I'm rather worried about good, powerless people not liking me for IMHO correct reasons.
- sroerick 12y agoCheers. Thanks for your bravery. I've likened it to that scene in V for Vendetta. They can only take what you give them.
- PavlovsCat 12y agoIt's not bravery, not yet, anyway. I have never been threatened, and I figure before that changes, a lot of people who actually are brave, and much more of a threat to oppressors than I ever could hope to be, would disappear in some shape or form. So I'm not brave, I'm just slightly idealistic :)
