"The revolution will not be televised"💥

True societal change and revolution are internal shifts in consciousness and mindset, not external events that can be captured on film or broadcast by the media.

Coined by Gil Scott-Heron in his 1971 poem, the phrase suggests that the system, including its media, is part of the problem and cannot be trusted to accurately portray or facilitate genuine change. Instead, the real revolution is a fundamental change of perspective that happens within individuals and communities, leading to real-world action.
