"First, I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season." Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will."

People are watching trump rip apart the modern world status quo and disrupt any sense of remaining international law, yet still want to vote for Farage next election.

We are undoubtedly cooked as a generation

When "conservatives" are in office: "well, you should've voted for liberals, they are easier to sway towards progressive policies than conservatives"

When "liberals" are in office: "well, there's not much I personally can do to change the government's minds"
