Sometimes you have to piss-off and scare the status-quo to effect positive change. As a matter of fact: that's usually the only things the status-quo responds to.
Asking for help gets pretty speeches expressing sympathy but the homeless are still homeless, hungry still hungry and the unemployed still unemployed. Voting? Voting is like using the 'Like' button on Facebook: it does nothing more than expresses an opinion. An opinion the status-quo chooses to ignore.
Speaking out at public meetings? That only gets you branded a lunatic, a mad man or worse. They even go so far as to publicly make jokes about you and ridicule you in front of live television cameras for all the world to see. Besides, they control the meetings, the formats and what will be discussed. Cross a line and you're shouted down and your microphone turned off. Try to out shout them and the police drag you away.
But scare them and make them angry and they start to fuck up. The more you scare them the more they fuck up. Then everyone sees what you see. That's why I do what I do and I do it very well because to them I really am Greensboro's friendly freelance, neighborhood Tyrannicide.
And they know it all too well.
