I know someone is gonna pipe up about the mean girl from their highschool that's a nurse now. It cones up constantly in these conversations. But what I wanna put here is this comment by u/nursemattycakes (it's also the highlighted comment in the link):

Song discovered during my student years. I hadn't heard it in a decade and somehow I think it belongs here.

Jamie Zawinski's (of Netscape/Mozilla fame, check out Code Rush if you're unfamiliar) humorous but enfuriating take on his club's battle with the music "industry" shakedown.

I ran it through google translate anyway.

While the liberal is part of the oppressor, he is the most powerless segment within that group. Therefore when he seeks to talk about change, he always confronts the oppressed rather than the oppressor. He does not seek to influence the oppressor, he seeks to influence the oppressed. He says to the oppressed, time and time again, “You don’t need guns, you are moving too fast, you are too radical, you are too extreme.” He never says to the oppressor, “You are too extreme in your treatment of the oppressed,” because he is powerless among the oppressors, even if he is part of that group; but he has influence, or, at least, he is more powerful than the oppressed, and he enjoys this power by always cautioning, condemning, or certainly trying to direct and lead the movements of the oppressed.
