Waiting for the Revolution
wingfield
As everyone with an ounce of sense knows, revolutions don’t just happen. What I called for in my last article won’t happen overnight. It will be a long march.
As could be expected, my article got the establishment trolls frothing away. What they forget is that I’m not talking to them! I’m reaching out to those who want to listen. I am speaking to the new citizens and the disenchanted and those who are treated like zombies rather than as fellow players and citizens.
Actually, not everything that was said in opposition was rubbish. It never is. Pearls of wisdom can be found in the strangest places! Someone gently pointed out that I hadn’t described how the revolution would work.
In fact, I had already done that. It was just that there had been a gap since I set out my program. Those who know me best will realise that I have a consistent message, which continues through many articles. You will remember that I wrote about my ideal party last month. Someone out of the blue even arranged a lot of votes for it.
Here is the link. I’m very proud of that article and still want to share it with you.
While we work on ideas and look for our new generation of leaders to carry our banner, life must go on. For now, many people like me have found a safe house, a home away from home and where the love is spread around. I’m speaking about the Blood Brethren and our beloved leader, Bia Pandora.
This is our manifesto:
We kneel to no one. We are bored with bullshit. We are bored with disrespect. We are bored with pretending we support heroes when we know the ugliness behind the closed doors. We've been there...we've done that. We are your oldfags, your oldhags, your field experts. We've come for fun and bonded through effort and blood for our eCountry, while others grew fat on our efforts. We are your disillusioned. We are not afraid to stand up and say "I've had enough".
This is OUR game, our fun, our hobby too! We'll play it how we want...when we want...and with whom we choose. We are waiting for a true eHero. One that we can RESPECT. Blood Brethren does it right. Sittin' by the pool sipping on margaritas....doing whatever we please, when we please!
This is where I am staying while we prepare the revolution. Come along and have fun with us. No one will tell you what to do or think. We also share the joy in our beloved leader! There is only one rule in our party: NO-ONE EVER CHALLENGES BIA! She is our President-for-Life, chosen by acclamation and sustained by our love!
Bring on the Revolution! In the meantime, BIA RULES!

The long march begins!
Hoo-rah! As the SFP likes to say:
E-toilers' of all ages! Continue the never-ending advance along the proletarian road according to your levels of consciousness and choosing appropriate party affiliations within the context of a Broad United Front!!
\o/
I am one of the NEW ones here and love this article!!! Long march indeed but we who think a like need to get together and make the next generation of people out here. Fresh eyes and minds!!!
let's see where it goes, it is nice to see ppl engaged 🙂
Bia does in fact, kick ass. And she doesn't snore when she naps.
Voted. I like the way you write.

I didn't care for your last article because it was missing a great deal of substance and failed to mention your article on what you expect from an ideal party (you got around to that in the comments section)... something your not-so-regular readers wouldn't have immediately known about.
This article, on the other hand, was much better. It rolled back a hint of the boisterous wind you were blowing (which towards the end of your previous article sounded a lot like "make me your new boss, same as the old boss") and picked up where your previous article's comments section left off: referencing important information on your plan.
Furthermore, I can always get behind the manifesto you posted, because if I've learned one thing in this game? Bia rules. I can greatly appreciate the latest article. 😃
Cheers.
Also, voted and subbed.
I simply forgot to link the article (sad face)
You also picked up that I'm not nominate myself as the leader! (smiley)
Cheers
I'm only as cool as the people I've learned from. *wink* ♥
Wingfield, I missed the original post, so thanks for providing the link. I appreciate hearing your thoughts, it is true that we are in a bad place, but I'm sure that you can appreciate the need to distinguish any real reform effort from the fake "reform" of Ajay's. More ideas about how this can happen would be welcome.
It is difficult to navigate the waters when the threat is internal.
BTW, scanning through the comments on the earlier post, interesting to see fingerguns revealed as commenting without apparently having read the article, and clearly not having done any research (like reading your old stuff, or asking anyone). Weak.
I almost always make the point that the AFA is straight out bad while I am also dissing Unity. It has always been bad. Unity was a good idea in its time but that has long since passed. Good to hear from you! It's been a while.
My party is also in the Revolution Business
Down with tyrants. And ants entirely.
I've liked the article. But, I'm not ready to go into the light.
The revolution, has been plagiarized and done to death. Everyone, will get behind the same war cry.
We The Peons, need have a tangible objection. I can't object to people, unless they are being @ss-holes or sucking up.
I object to; Forum Voting, Inter Party Cartels and antisocial, behavior.
I think that every election should be, "Heads UP."
If people are afraid, to show, for whom they are voting, you may not want them to vote.
I also, like to have a Parliament that tells me WTF is going on. Rather, they tell me that I don't know WTF I'm talking about.
I don't want to aim the last comment at everyone. But, most of you have sold out, badly.
And if that doesn't make me a troll, I don't know what would.

*sits by the pool sippin' her marguarita*
Anyone is welcome to come chill with the Brethren for as long as they wish. It's like a blankie fort. People come and go all the time. Just make sure you restock the beer and hugs from time to time ♥♥
Carry on, my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
So you are the one that played that song non-stop in the dorm room above me! 😃
Kansas is the shit
BIA IN ONE RIGHTEOUS B!TCH!
RAWR!

Revolution isn't something you wait for, is it?
Would be cool if Blood Brethren got involved with this 6th party coalition. Well...would be interesting. The 6ths in there right now have political aspirations as individuals, I think. BB never seemed to put out that vibe. I could be wrong.
Anyway, would be a very interesting addition to that movement.
Bia has it right. BB has always come off to me as a sippin' mohitos and margaritas by the pool kind of party. Leave political aspiration at the door, and if they ever have enough folks to nominate congress, it's going to be very no-nonsense kind of people.
The earth would tremble.
Voted and subbed. Grandly written material sir.
