So I was browsing through Alan Moore’s From Hell and this line popped up. “The working class don’t want a revolution, Mr. Lees. They just want more money.” In many ways, does this not explain our own predicament? The state of our own politics and our country’s growing apathy?

The working classes want change, definitely. They desire improvement in their standards of living, better services from government, more transparency,
A Revolution, I’m not sure. People may just be so EDSA-fatigued.
If I can have change and more money, why not?
I watched ANC’s Storyline.They were talking to common folks about the impeachment.

EDSA-fatigue is really easy to explain: NONE of the EDSA’s brought about “change we can believe in”, especially change that brought food to the poor man’s table, or change that fattened the ordinary Filipino wallet.
Yes, they just want and need more money, but should that really be bad?
That’s because the EDSA’s did not address the problem we have with the Oligarchs.
but edsa was not meant to remove the oligarchs. they were meant to remove the nation’s leaders perceived and accused to be corrupt.
like a tree, it had only have been pruned of its top leaves. the branches and the roots are still there. They merely shifted to another wind’s direction…like JDV which is like an electric fan…it can swivel in any direction by the mere touch of a button and chane of loyalty.
so i am wondering why our vigilant bloggers and journalists are focusing only on the executive department and are not mentioning the 105 congressmen, the governors and mayors who received the funding.
to remove gma and spare these components of the corrupt system will not bring change.
martial law was supposed to remove the oligarchs but what happened was it formed another group, the cronies and the wealth was concentrated in just one family.
And in all these historic moments, the church is always the benefited group.
