I am so so tired of the whinging.
All over FB and MN and Twitter and probably Google+ and every where else.
They are destroying our NHS. They are taking away our benefits. They are lying about social security, benefits users, my next door neighbour, their own policies.
Well, what are you doing about it, other than bitching on Social Media? Have you signed a petition? Gone to a protest? Written your MP/Congress Person?
Or are you sitting behind your computer whinging on the internet hoping someone else is going to be the change?
What am I doing? Not a blessed thing. Why? Because I honestly think it does no good. This government will pass things (both US and UK). The next government will pass things to put things back the way they were before the last government passed things. And vice versa. Over and over again, until the end of the earth. Everything resets back to zero at some point. It always has and it always will.
So I am not being the change. But I am also not whinging about the change. Or only rarely and briefly.
Also, I have no electoral voice in the UK and never will. And I have no local electoral voice in the US, even though I am registered to vote in California. As a US Citizen who has declared they will never return to the US, my voting power is limited. I am allowed to vote for Senators and Congressmen. I am not allowed to vote for State Senators or Congressmen or whatever they have in California. Quite right too.
But honestly, the rest of you are exhausting. Either shut up or put up.
Be the change or stop whinging about the need for change.
Or tell me to fuck off.
Your choice.
