I strongly agree - but typify the problem. O the irony!

I don't agree that protest is a valid form of expression. I think waving placards at passing limousines was just the precursor to social media.

The origin of protests did not involve much in the way of placards, instead involving torches and pitchforks used to burn down castles and skewer their occupants.

That is a valid form of expression because it is a language overlords understand.

I fear we live in a post-revolutionary world. I cannot conceive of what to do about it as I have been disappointed by the state of development of 3D printers, which seem to me to be, were they actually tools suitable for production, an acceptable form of expression, even preferable to torches and pitchforks.

However, if we cannot evolve we are doomed. That is unacceptable to me. Fortunately, no one cares what I accept.

Thanks!
