kapi:
Do you guys really think that all of your tweets and tumblr posts about Iran or putting a green tint to your online avatars will actually have a game changing impact?
Don’t get me wrong, I am not doubting any of your efforts at all. In fact I applaud them.
It seems to me that the Americans are the most vocal about the whole “Democracy must win” point of view, which is fair.
But, you guys seem to have forgotten when this sort of thing happened in your own country, Florida to be more specific, during the 2000 American Presidential elections.
What happened then? I know that there was no twitter or any other massively popular online medium to voice your protests, but however you chose to protest, did it magically make Al Gore the president?
No. It didn’t.
So what makes you think that it will work this time around?
I couldn’t fit my answer in the answer box.
Al Gore was a pussy. He was all ‘let’s see what the Supreme Court say’. He went on about the hanging chads and the pregnant chads like he was trying to have a baby with his boyfriend formerly known as Chantelle. Then he lost. He was a loser. He got fucked by a Bush. Then what did he do? He did what all men do when they get fucked by bush. He grew a beard. And he learned how to use PowerPoint. And then he realised that it was all about the green shit. And then he shaved his beard off (which was a mistake, in retrospect) and did a PowerPoint presentation. And he was the coolest motherfucker on Earth. And then Barack Obama came along and financed the car industry.
Mousavi has learned from Gore’s mistakes. He already has a beard. Motherfucker was born with a beard. He ain’t never shaving that man-fur off his face. And when he lost by a landslide, he wasn’t talking about chads, he was all like ‘fuck THAT shit’. He didn’t wait for no retired Long Islanders to do no recount, he told people to bring on the green like a Vulcan apocalypse and tweet like Alfred Hitchcock was in the hizzouse!
That doesn’t answer your question but I enjoyed writing it.
