    It just takes one person to start a revolution. Too bad the lot of you are waiting for someone else to start it.

        I don’t live in a country under dictatorial fascism. So I don’t need to start a revolution.

        Also what revolution was done by a single person?

        Rosa Parks refusing to leave her seat on the bus was the catalyst for the Civil Rights movement just to name one. Greta Thunberg as an individual is the face of climate change and social economic change.

          Greta didn’t start shit and saying Rosa Parks ‘started’ the civil rights movement is historically illiteracy.

          Then kindly shut the fuck up about what people you don’t even live with should do.

        You said “All of us”. I’m not manipulated by “them”. I assumed since you added yourself into it that you were American.
