In reply to the discussion: Heads Up Hillary Supporters! You’re On a Watch List [View all]NastyRiffraff
(12,448 posts)54. Ooh! Ooh! I'm on a Watch List!!
I don't know whether to laugh, or just shake my head. I love this:
Those who are inflamed with the Snowden or Wikileaks revelations are of a different generation. They are younger, most have never been in combat, seen family and friends come home physically wounded and emotionally maimed. They did not witness the assasination of the President, the slow unwinding of another, the impeachment of a third. They did not watch helplessly as the single voice calling for an end to pollution and warning of climate change lose his Presidential bid because of a flap called hanging chads.
They have not fought for basic basic fucking rights to sit at a counter with white folks or hunt for a job without having to search through the Womens list. This generation never knew that domestic violence was a family secret, an OK thing, a wasted call to the police. Many have probably never read Marx or studied the long history of revolution; never worked outside electoral politics; never marched on their state capital or Washington DC; never demonstrated at a nuclear power facility or walk the length of a state for peace.

I guess it makes them feel as if they have "control" of a situation that's OUT OF THEIR CONTROL!!
