    What's with the liberal belief that knowing something is enough to stop it. I'll call it the Rumpelstiltskin complex - knowledge of a thing gives you power over it.

    It pervades gen -x laziness and boomer peace "activism", 80s and 90s pop culture, and even today in self identifying liberals like Jim.

    Meanwhile, the political apparatus and corporate media simply ignores anyone saying shit - only action makes a difference. It is entirely infuriating and demotivating - liberals say a tweet, then feel great that they have done their best fighting for their future.
