Let me be the one you call on

Recently I found a music video that particularly delighted me, published to YouTube back in 2012, with zero comments on its page. I was particularly enamored of the video, so I decided to leave the first comment. It reads:

"Someday, when the bastards of corporate hegemony find themselves with their backs against the wall for all the evil wrought in their names, when their oppressors finally have those warlocks of commerce, those monopolizing hate-wretches who drove civilization into the burning seas, despoiling every ounce of its innocence and stealing every cent of its cash money along the way, strung up in razor-wire nooses pulled as taut as life will allow, with the reckoning due and the tables turned and the point blank barrels of righteous animosity shoved into those filthy corporate faces just to make the stakes of the situation unequivocally clear, a voice will ring out pure and true, 'One reason we should show you mercy, you fiends of the pit? One reason we should spare you from the fate that awaits you and all those like you? One reason your life and that of your families and friends and anyone who ever spared a kind word for you before today should not be forfeit to the righteous justice of the executioner's towering wrath?' If, in that moment, one of those corporate bastards happens to say, 'Oh, well in 2012, I did help provide a platform for sharing that Frank Eddie video, Let Me Be The One You Call On. Is that - I mean, does that count for something?' then that particular lucky bastard will walk free on that day, to be sure. All the rest of 'em are surefire fucked, though, you have my word on that."

I later learned there's a higher quality version on Vimeo, so go watch it there.
