Can't stop the signal
Feb. 6th, 2017 07:28 pmHave you ever wondered why songs and jokes and stories have always been the tools of the resistance?
Flyers can be torn down.
Graffiti can be painted over.
Picket signs can be confiscated.
Books and pamphlets can be burned.
Printing presses can be smashed.
Web servers can be turned off.
Guns can be out-gunned.
But if you compose a catchy song, a funny joke, an inspiring story, and you tell it to enough people, and they tell it to enough people, then you create a message that cannot be shut down.
Why does the resistance use songs and jokes and stories?
Because they are unstoppable.
