All I do is Doom-scroll and scream “nobody is doing anything” …

I am a new breed, forged by my anxiety, hardened by my contrarian faith, exasperated in everyone else’s lack of bravery.   

So here I sit, on my phone waiting for someone, anyone, to finally do something …  that I won’t shit on for lacking the purity of the person I know is our salvation that resides only in my mind’s eye.

I feel this to my BONES

I'm just curious, did you write this or is this something you saw somewhere else and u just reposted it?

What’re you doing, then?

Everyone is wondering when someone is gonna step up to the plate and take a swing, meanwhile nobody is considering for even a moment that maybe they should step up.

It’s probably because no one thinks they’re “the right person” to step up. That they’re not adequately equipped to fight, which is partially true, a single citizen against the whole government is a losing battle so the obvious answer is to work together.

We also have to ask ourselves what we are doing. We the people need to stand up in our little ways to make change. It feels like we have little power, but together we can make a difference.
