But there isn’t civil unrest. They are just afraid of it. If that was the change you were looking for then good for you I guess.
Unfortunately our community is just as manipulated, exploited, and vulnerable than it ever has been and that is only getting worse. Since that part hasn’t changed, I’d say everything else is just irrelevant.
I'm going to level with you, because it's clear to me that nobody has done this for you.
the change you're waiting for won't ever happen, at least not in the timeline you want it in.
systemic change requires time and voices. civil unrest brings voices together against a common threat.
what the killing of Brian did is focus the public eye onto a real problem of healthcare. now that it's in the public interests it's getting discussed. they are trying to quiet it down and not fan the flames, in hopes the fires of rebellion die.
by saying "nothing has changed" you're just acting as an unwitting pawn in their game to strangle the voice of the people.
don't be a pawn, discuss what has changed and why Brian was killed.
Cool. Here’s the thing tho. We need more than discussion. Because like you said things aren’t going to change otherwise. It’s been all talk and no game for decades.
