activists

These talking heads who call themselves "activists," what do they do? Protests are held by those who envy power, but do not possess it themselves. Do these activists merely serve as an expression of our impotence? Activism is not action. Without the requisite degrees of freedom, what action can be taken? Waving flags, shouting, marching, and vandalizing: these acts are the temper tantrum of a spoiled child. Only an adult can effect change.
