Royal Trash-Kin

Just imagine a traveling monk doing that epic throat singing while some bard be shredding on some kind of lyre and the bard is like yo let's combine our talents. And so you have this martial artist who can do really badass flying kicks and handstand spins for fighting reasons and they say okay now do thet to the beat, also play this mandolin. And there's a disgraced former Jester that Fucks as hard as he partakes in Herbs and Booze you know what i mean. But can also sing and play drums but more importantly he Knows People. Anyway so they become a very popular rock group, similar to a heavy metal group, at some point the jester gets addicted to some shit and causes drama, the monk with his epically deep singing is such a straight edge virgin they almost have a falling out but he falls in love with the Jester and stops being a monk, all their fans are writing real person fanfiction, anyway but when they die of old age eventually people forgot about them and the fanfiction got lost, but they were successful for decades, I mean who is to say this didn't happen, we don't know, anyway their band name was Catgut and all the Jester/Monk fujoshis were right and the dancer fighter couldn't sing for shit but he had a loving wife and kids at home he provided for, the most normal of them all really, his wife was the lyricist as well, they ended up in a throuple with the bard, their most popular song was Ye Smitten.

Aww did the industry plant's feelings get hurt, aww poor little nepo baby :( how can u cope with being called out?? did you get a paper cut on your taint wiping your ass with the money you exploited from those more talented than you

I want to tell a joke about having two nickels but . . . No, I shan't say it.

This is a genuine question, and that's why I am asking it on tumblr and not, like, facebook: Now that the No Kings Protest happened and we have had people dressed as frogs etc in Portland and other areas, what had it accomplished? What have any of the protests and calling representatives and signing petitions and boycotting Target, Walmart, etc, actually done? I know boycotting Disney did get them to reverse their decision, but even still, what did that accomplish? Because the government still shut down and let's be honest, I don't ever see any Republican backing down about healthcare so it will not open until their demands are met. The Epstein Files will never be released. Trump will never see justice, and neither will any of his cohorts. When Trump eventually passes of old age, his cohorts will continue doing what they're doing. I know someone is going to say "stop being so defeatist and fear mongering, that's what they want!" but thats all they ever say. "Remain positive and fight and protest and vote!" Okay we are doing that and have been doing that and it doesn't seem to have accomplished anything. Now, either that means I cannot find the news stating the good it's done, in which case I am genuinely asking you to show me this, or it really hasn't done anything at all. Is it just harm reduction? Every time I see a post like "dont give up! Thats what they want! Fight!" There's is absolutely NO suggestions or examples of what that means or what it accomplished. It just feels totally empty. How do I combat this feeling because I KNOW this feeling is bad for us, good for them, but I don't see how anything we have done has actually accomplished anything. Is it news suppression and thats why I am not seeing it or is it really not doing anything? This is a genuine actual question, I am not trying to convince people into nihilism. I am trying to prevent myself from being nihilist anout this, and am seeking proof that it is worth trying with actual results, not just generic platitudes like "resist!" without 1) examples or 2) proof it is working. Please help.
