The problem was the mass surveillance.
The problem was the mass hysteria.
The problem was the algorithmic newsfeed.
The problem was that everything you said was tied to your irl identity.
Phil Ochs performed at many political events during the 1960s counterculture era, including anti-Vietnam War, civil rights rallies, and organized labor events.
He references what many activists realize at some point. Liberals are the biggest enemy of a revolution. They are the legalized "alternative". They water it down, and put out the flame. A safe haven of cowardice in a world that requires much more radical change.

OK, it's basically like flash. Like flash, you can just use it for animation, but you can also make it jump from frame to frame and it interprets Javascript code so it can get quite advanced.
Basically, you can use it for frame-by-frame animation, but you can also utilize "tweens" to make some things easier, and you can even make a game with it just like flash.
One thing I really like is that it has the "tween" just like flash. This means, you take an object, make a keyframe, make a second keyframe, move the object, and Wick will calculate all the in-between frames for you. Very useful!!!
Something I don't like is there doesn't seem to be a "skew" tool. So, you can't have the same bounce and stretch that you could have from SynFig or OpenToons. At least, as far as I can tell from my limited experience. Still, a very nice tool. Easy! Probably a good beginner program for kids, too!
