It is an idea imposed on you by people who want you to believe something that is incontrovertibly opposed to reality. You have power. You have power to build a family for yourself. You have power to build a career. You have power to read what you want, to listen to the music you want. You have the power to build the community you want. And if you so choose, you have the power to help build the country that could ensure a rich and exciting future.
You can choose not to use that power, but you have it.
Be the change you want to see in this world. But that shit only goes so far and capital goes further to invalidate your efforts.
Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t, but…to lower expectations.
