Rebellions are built on Hope
9 years ago
This election has Divided the citizens of the US, and the replies to my last post that I had to lock down (and delete) are further proof of this. There is no denying it, we are one nation Divided in Hate, Divided in Fear right now... I never thought I'd have to live through this dark chapter of history but it looks like I am stuck here along with so many.
Star Wars (oddly enough) said it best. "Fear is the path to the Dark Side. Fear Leads to Anger, Anger leads to Hate, Hate leads to Suffering".
There is much to be afraid of, the Dark Side is strong right now. They want us to be Afraid. They want us to be divided, and if you reply trying to dispute this with me you've only made my point all that much stronger.
I have many friends who are of different races, Religions, and Sexual preferences. Its easy to say "oh you are a White Straight Male so you are unaffected by the policies set forth by the current administration", and that is where you would be wrong. Maybe it doesn't affect me, but if it affects my Friends its the same as affecting me. If a Law is passed to register all Mexican Americans and all Transgenders it will still trickle down and affect me even if I wouldn't need to become registered myself.
But there is Hope, in the Darkest of Hours there is always Hope. Those who dwell in the Fear are Dead to me as of this point forward.
I have no room in my life for Hate and Fear of any kind. No room for hate/fear of Public Healthcare. No room for hate/fear of different Religions, Minority Groups or sexual preferences. No room for anything that the Alt Right stands for.
I've made a statement at the top of my Profile, and that statement will remain there as long as it needs to; at Minimum the duration of the current POTUS/ his VP's term of power.
This is me declaring my solidarity against the powers to be. I've never been one to walk in Protests and risk getting maced, but I have a feeling that might change. I'm not one to Riot, I would only participate in a peaceful protest. That time may come very soon...
In the past I've fancied myself as more of a Star Trek nerd then a Star Wars fan. But Star Wars is so appropriate to the current political climate, and in some ways gives some of us Hope. Hope that a small group of Rebels can overthrow or change the course of History from a Corrupt and Evil Empire.
I have no time to deal with poisonous insults to my way of life. I'm done "Accepting" Fear and Hatred in all forms.

Must be not what you say, but how you say it.
