The self-immolation, the most non-violent form of protest, no longer works. After Aaron Bushnell that I have heard about, there ware two more attempts that I didn’t. (Matt Nelson and Samuel Mena Jr)
Recent events have shown us that violent protest still works, but it got me thinking; When was the last time someone resigned from position of power due to social pressure?
I have this hunch that shame worked in the past, but now PR departments and relentless pursuit of money has removed social acceptance from an equation.
Franken could have come back but I think he resigned and has stayed gone because fuck that shit. If people want to be shitty and bay for blood like animals over stupid shit, then fuck all y’all. Can’t say I blame him. Plus nobody had the balls to stand with him while it was happening.
