    “Politicians won’t save you, revolution is a right”

    The “politicians won’t save us” was part of the OP poster’s quote. The part about “revolution is a right” is part of a Victor Hugo quote.

    It looks like you’re gluing two pieces together as one that never existed in the original to take issue with it. Read some Victor Hugo for the context of his quote to gain a better understanding of its origin in history and how it relates to today.

    I suppose it could be intentionally vague or open to interpretation, but I would prefer a more unifying message like “take back the power” or “together we can fix things” rather than “none of them will help you”

    You’re changing the entire message. The original is calling out the need for change, but not advocating what or how that change is enacted of affected. You’re prescribing the solution with your “take back the power” or “together we can fix things”. You’re welcome to do that with your own messaging, but that is very different than the OPs. What OP’s is doing isn’t wrong, it just isn’t where you want it to go.

      Oh my apologies, is the literal message being shared not the message you think is intended to be shared? Wow. Incredible.
