A Paused Rebellion

The revolution used to be televised. Our soldiers ranged from ministers and writers to athletes and actors. Over time the battle terrain has changed slightly forcing us to adjust accordingly to survive from generation to generation. One of our most powerful fronts used to be the music- where we have taken severe losses as you probably know, leaving the last line of defense standing as our comedians. The comedian has had free reign to discuss all of the controversial topics that required addressing. With regret I say, that the corporate machine has successfully infiltrated the comedy brigade as well. By offering multimillion dollar deals in order to gain control over the comedic material. The comedians either accept the corporate proposition and become "Sambo" or reject it and get blackballed (ala Dave Chappelle). Anybody else was either a "Sambo" already or were just too "safe" to be really funny (read:to tell the truth). We, the people, are the ultimate losers in the end. We are left with a "humble mumble in the jungle of shots and screams" and quite frankly it's disheartening. So today I just wanna send some love and respect to all of our revolutionary soldiers. It was the fire in their hearts that sparked the resistance of today. Although the tyrants before us only respect a dollar or a death threat(usually both), the first revolution occurs in the mind. Here are some of the guerillas whose expressed perspective directly affected my own:
