“Don’t boo, vote - Barack Obama 2016
We intellectualise society’s faults, dissecting them on Facebook pages…… but rarely do we make the necessary strides to affect change in the real world. We boo, but we don’t vote! We need to transfer our resistance from the internet to the real world and reignite purposeful outrage that drove society forward in the offline era.”
