Has society become to complacent or is there nothing left to fight for?

As my man Camp said, "It ain't all about color no more, it's about rich and poor, about haves and have nots, tried to get in but that door is padlocked..."

Some people don't realize how much we (the middle/poor class) have in common regardless of color. We're all oppressed by the rich and powerful, which in the US is still majority old rich, mostly racist, white men, but there are people of all races that make up every class. We need to realize that our fight is against corrupt politicians and faceless corporations whose only purpose is profit regardless of the damage they do in the process. Capitalism has led to an empty hollow existence, where a very few control almost all of the money supply and build on the backs of the poor, degraded majority, which is made up of people of every race that lead lives that are little more than going through the motions to fit into society's idea of what is acceptable, while working jobs they hate for the most part just to buy stuff that they don't need because they see celebrities they idolize with these things, which they were handed for free to influence the lower class to scratch and claw to obtain these things to impress people they don't even like for the most part. The scariest potential outcome is more years of apathy and ignorance, in which members of society are still largely defined by how much money they have and possessions they acquire, especially since in the very near future these items will become cheaper so the general public can still afford them and we stay dumbed down, while the foundation of our economy is still crumbling due to overwhelming debt and many other factors, which I see playing out as a slow decaying of society, while more of our freedoms are stripped from us, in exchange for more toys that dumb us down and pacify us. I still have hope that we will overcome it though. Check out my boy Camp's LP Disillusioned it deals with a lot of these topics and talks about how he's become more and more disillusioned (disappointed) in our society.

people have to be pushed to our natural breaking point sadly before we truly do anything about our problems

I've been thinking about this a lot since the Zimmerman verdict, truthfully I was expecting full scale rioting in Flordia and around the country, so I was surprised when nothing happened. Then I started thinking about how we live in a society where tv, Internet, and others luxuries have become commonplace in American households where life seems infinitely better here than say a 3rd world country, while a lot of people here a struggling to pay bills and can rarely afford to take a vacation or find time to pursue their real passion in life and force themselves to be stuck in a career and life they find unfulfilling they still have a roof over their head a means of transportation and communication (the average person does at least) so we take this in stride because we feel that even though the system is bullshyt and our goverment can do a lot better for the people if they wanted to is still not worth taking a risk to protest and sacrifice the contentness of their life? My question I guess would be is it worth it? Is the injustice we face cause enough to actually get up and do something about or is it that necessary evil we have to deal w/ to live in relative comfort?
somebody post that Jordan laughing gif please

Just a quick note when you guys are talking about people your talking about yourselves as well right?

The Coli, just like most of the internet people, like to think themselves above when really they're in the same boat as everyone else. Everyone here criticizing society or "people" should shut the fukk up until they do something to start change themselves. Otherwise this lazy cynicism is just a bunch of annoying dikk stroking.

The guy running the register at McDonalds thinks he has what it takes to be president.

I think society has become too forgiving of people who don't know the difference between "to" and "too."

Yeah we're all part of society after all I just wanna see if people feel like the injustice we face in the country is enough that organized protest or full scale riot would be worth the sacrifice of their comfortability

I don't know what you're asking.
Wether or not common injustice that such as tapping of people's phone or an the educational system that dimisses individuality and stresses obeying authority or the price of a good higher education being widely unaffordable and leaves many struggling to pay off debt from loans even though these are common problems Americans face is it worth the time to go out and protest this, black people are not nearly as discriminated against as they were in the past should the Trayvon Martin situation looked at as an isolated rare occurrence people expressed there displeasure w/ the verdict through social media was that good enough all things considered are these things worth causing an uproar about when things could be a lot worse?

This is all over the place.

Part of the problem with school debt is that: 1. Not everyone deserves to go to college. 2. Financing is too freely available.

Trayvon Martin? fukked up situation...but jury of his peers. What more do you want done? racism isn't exactly illegal.
