1. What I take from it
Thu Feb 6, 2025, 01:22 AM
Feb 2025

Are a few different things I took from the song

First a revolution won’t make money for corporations. They won’t be able to exploit it because it tears the corporate state apart and people can realize there is a life beyond capitalism and consumerism and that’s the last thing corporations want to draw attention to.

Revolution won’t happen if you are in your livingroom watching tv or on your you tubes, you have to physically leave your house and seek out like minded people.


Thirdly people need to come together in person to have a revolution because a revolution to be effective needs actual community and connection to others in person to share resources share the work march or fight together and to aid one another among a million other things.

And
It by necessity creates the bonds that bring equality annd justice itself to fruition and changes the very fabric and structure of society for the better. It helps you realize hierarchical power is empty.

I hope what I said was ok. Not intending to offend.
