    Don’t talk down to me. Sure, I remember, partly why I’m a communist today. But! Normal people don’t care about that nerd shit. What people care about is blood on the streets, that’s what grabs their attention.

      Grabs their attention is right, until next Thursday when something else does and we’re back to business as usual. I wouldn’t call it “having a direct effect” I would call it a very temporary delusion of one.
