    Yeah, let’s not count our chickens just yet on world events. Though I’d love to hope you’re right.

        Hope is the motivation killer. Hope is what encourages people to post memes rather than take action. Hope is relying on others to achieve your goals for you. Replace it with expectation based on deliberate action.

            Perhaps you and I mean something different by “hope”, but a revolution doesn’t succeed on hope, it succeeds on determined action towards the desired goal. By all means keep that goal in mind, but, unless you are actively working towards it, you are just relying on others to achieve it for you, and if you are working towards it, then it’s not hope, it’s expectation, and that’s a very differentn and far more positive, thing.

        US is moving a fuck ton of kit around in the middle east and Europe. This isn’t over.

        “Oh God no, I never hope. Hope is pouting in advance. Hope is faith’s richer, bitchier sister. Hope is the deformed attic bound incest monster offspring of entitlement and fear.” -Frankie Dart

          I don’t know who Frankie Dart is, but if you think there needs to be some sort of revolution you’d better have some hope.

        Hope makes people believe lies and propaganda. Hope can make people docile when things need to actively be changed. Hope is poison to reality when it motivates you to do less.

          When people decide things need to actively be changed, they’d better have hope. Otherwise they’ll give up the minute things don’t go their way.
