Ah, Comrade X remembers being just a young little tow-headed tyke, a wee boy happily playing stick ball or kick-the-can or some other innocent childhood game with neighborhood friends, when, suddenly, tyrannically, he is ordered inside by a parent. What? No! We're not even finished! Well, Comrade X realized, even at that young age, that power must be spoken back to, power must be shown the limits of its authority, power must be resisted for the sake of resistance and freedom and everything that Comrade X holds dear, and so, my Revolutionaries, Comrade X delivered this gesture to said parent, asserting his autonomy and simultaneously saying to the world, "No! Thou shalt not defeat me! Thou shalt not oppress the weak!" (Yes, Comrade X used to talk like that. He was raised in a non-normative household.)
Oh, sure, Comrade X had his ass beaten right royally that day, with a multitude of common household implements, but in retrospect, when he looks back through the misty veils of time and memory, he realizes that it was all worth it, that that beating was a lesson, an invaluable lesson, in the Dialectic of Oppression which shaped irrevocably Comrade X's never-to-be-swayed Revolutionary Consciousness.
And so Comrade X declares May 19 "National Fuck It Day," and expects all his Revolutionary Comrades to go out into the world and once, just once (but of course feel free to do it at EVERY opportunity!), to say to power, power in any form, "Fuck you! I will not be oppressed!"
Comrade X eagerly awaits your stories of liberation and resistance! Rise up! If Starbucks gives you foam on your no-foam latte, you tell them you're mad as hell and won't take it anymore!
ONWARD!
