That had to be quite the formative experience. My childhood was centered around that decade or so lull between the end of the Cold War and 9/11, was in high school when the planes hit and it's all been going to shit ever since. Did the demise of the apartheid state have simultaneously fast and slow time warp going on, intense and happening at a snail's pace? My worry is that some are going to holler "We won" and go home, but by and large that doesn't seem to be happening. There's a quote that I don't normally trot out because of watchlists and whatnot but:

“Protest is when I say I don't like this. Resistance is when I put an end to what I don't like. Protest is when I say I refuse to go along with this anymore. Resistance is when I make sure everybody else stops going along too.”
― Ulrike Meinhof

Feels like things have shifted gears here, that it's use it or lose it time and there can be no backing down.
