"Until someone asks me where I've been, I'll just keep wasting time." A line from my own bad poetry.
Consuming "revolutionary" media online and interacting with it isn't doing shit to fix the world, you just got tricked into believing your anger-in-isolation has merit. Which it only does as part of the donation / attention economy. Your only value is as a consumer. And nothing you did stopped a bad guy or saved a life. And the people you thought you were supporting in their remaking of the world were probably just cynical grifters who gave up on everything besides making money YEARS ago.
Like I said. Important video. ...Ironically.
