You can’t fight 365 days a year. You can make time to look at cat pictures and create art and still fight the man. Hell, you can fight the man by looking at cat pictures and making art. Just be kind, empathetic, and, as the kids say, stand on business. You can protest, yell, flip cars, throw rocks, hand out flyers, donate to causes, volunteer, argue, debate, stuff envelopes, and so on and so forth…but if you don’t have a balance you will just burn out. That doesn’t help anyone because that is exactly what they are hoping will happen.
I guess what I am saying is go ahead and calm down and focus on art and good conversation. Take time to be a better person. Doing that fights them just as well as all the other stuff. They want you frazzled, strung out, and scared. Don’t let the bastards have that, show up fresh rested, and defiant.
That is a great way of reframing it. And honestly it is a big help right now with the way I’ve been thinking lately. So thank you for taking the time to post this, seriously. I’ve got some thoughts that need rearranging now.
