“I'm not political.” Until they come for you.

You can know every minister's surname and still spend your entire life with your tongue up your ass. You can argue in comment sections for eight hours a day and decide that by evening you've practically overthrown a dictatorship. You just wore yourself the fuck out on the internet. What interests me is something else. Do you understand the conditions you're living under? Can you see where things are heading? Do you have any line at all beyond which you'll stop explaining to yourself why everything is still fine? Or can that line always move a little further? Because right now there's the mortgage. Then an important project. Then your kid starts school. Then it's too late to change anything.
