We only live one short life. So why not start a revolution while we're here? Why not shake things up? Right?

We only live one short life. So why not just live for once in your life? Why not shake things things up? Why not rock the boat? Why not tear down the status quo? Why not dismantle the establishment? Why not fight to do away with business as usual? Why not fight for justice? Right? We're only here for a little while. So why not just be a hellraiser? What do you have to lose? Why should you be a good little quiet consumer and do everything you're told your whole life? Why play their game? Why be a sheep? Why be a drone? Why?

Contrary to what most people say, they are content with there lives, they may complain about things, but so long as they have a home, have something to eat, can watch the brain drain that feeds them propaganda, they will remain content with their slavery to the system, unless things get intolerably bad for people, things will not change.

They may feel like fighting the injustice of the system from time to time, but in the end, the fear of losing what little they have, is what keeps them in line, that and fear of change itself, for the path to true freedom is not an easy road, so they take the easy path that promises comfort and safety but at the cost of their freedom.

As people get older they give up and become more and more content, even happy with there meager stations in life, they have made the full transition into slaves, they begin to sympathize with their master's views and in the end will fight tooth and nail to preserve the very system that has oppressed them, the very system they once opposed in their own youth.

Insurgency is good for insurgent cultures, traditionally not Protestant cultures. Move to an insurgent place and you'll be happy.

Hand print guy is correct.

Plus, it's not so easy for a single person to start a "revolution." Most people who try to go against the established norms will be looked upon as lunatics or psychopaths. Very rarely does one succeed in "fighting the system." If you have the charisma of Hitler, maybe you can accomplish something.
