- Noam Chomsky
So Ohn's, rock your heart out, brah...till the very last day before the roll-over. I feel you, and if I thought there was an actual system to rail against then I'd be right there with you, shitposting into oblivion.
Don't go quietly into the night, fight on the beaches, on idle wednesday message boards, and we shall surrender...but it will be very slowly sporadically kinda like fingernails on a chalkboard. It will be our finest hour, and unlike Gen.MacArthur who simply 'faded away', they will sing songs about us long after we are gone, just like Achilles.

Just like many other true legends, they can be hard to recognize in the spaces between the past and the future...but once history's had enough time to properly reflect upon itself, I'm sure that many ballads will be written about our courage and foresight.
