A riff on "The Revolution Won't Be Televised"...

the revolution won't be televised because the bastards who own the networks won't let you see it and you probably wouldn't watch it anyway— you're too busy with your beer and your phone and your comfortable numbness.

the revolution won't be televised because it's not entertainment, not something you can half-watch while you're scratching your ass and wondering what to eat for dinner.

you can't consume revolution like you consume everything else— passive, bored, already thinking about the next thing.

the revolution won't be televised because it happens in the place you're most afraid to look: inside your own goddamn skull.

it starts when you stop lying to yourself, stop swallowing their garbage, stop pretending this is fine. it's not on TV. it's not coming to save you. it's just you and the choice to keep sleeping or finally wake the hell up. nobody's going to film that.
