I didn’t get it when I was a kid, not having any idea what it was to suffer or even work a full 8 hours. Now that we’re here gestures to the world around us and I’m older and I understand those things, it hits hard. I don’t know why the songs came into my head lately, but they kind of give me hope. These kids did this, breaking the oppression put on them with their situation and corporate greed. Maybe we can too. I probably need to watch a whole documentary on the situation, but this has a nostalgic draw and emotional attachment to me. And god, the fucking news guy was on their side?! Imagine.

🎶 Leftist dream, wait for me… 🎶
