I’m not going to hold anyone’s hand when I say this:
“Hey Hey, Ho Ho, Donald Trump has got to go” ? That is the most dogshit, pathetic fucking chant I’ve ever heard.
You are fighting the good fight. That’s great. At the same time, no one is going to take any of us seriously if we continue to let camp counselors past their prime guide these protests with those soulless chants.
I’m begging you, my fellow activist, listen to Pete Seeger. Study Woody Guthrie. Find recordings of the Civil Rights movement. Develop a chant to fire the crowd up with. For the love of god, shut thee fuck up with the kindergarten team-spirit chants.
We CAN fight this.
While we are at it, we need to stop treating protests and marches like talent shows to see which marginalized group has the most team spirit to fight against the dictator.
“TIGHTEN THE FUCK UP!”
Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
