#Twitter Verification Is a Symbol Of Ruling Elitism « The Activists

I know you like to believe that some of these celebrities you follow are genuine people. I know that it is comforting to hold out the hope for authentic famous people. Well, let me squash your hope really quickly.

I would argue that every single person on Twitter with a verified account is part of the ruling elites. Being part of the ruling elites negates their entire intellectual output. Whether it is Michael Moore or Rush Limbaugh or Sarah Palin or Kim Kardashian, they are all part of the system.

The verification symbol is a symbol that proclaims that these people can be trusted by the system. These people work to reinforce the system. These people are all dogs of the system.

Of course, some will argue that I am generalizing, but let’s face it, the truth of the matter is that symbolism is very powerful. The verified symbol identifies the person as a beneficiary and a loyal servant of the system. So hold out your hope no more, look to people around you that will empower you instead of celebrities and intellectuals who make power feel like a distant, mythical, thing.

Look to people who live out the struggle with every day of their lives, instead of following pampered individuals who proclaim the truth when all they speak is rubbish. Become part of the movements around you, instead of sitting like a voyeur watching the lives of the so called powerful.

They are not powerful, we are powerful. They are not honest, we are the truth. They are not interesting, we are the liveliness, the vividness of freedom.

So do yourself a favor and unfollow every single person with that wretched symbol, every single traitor, who has sold their soul for wealth and recognition.
