If you're carrying a smartphone on you at all you're already getting all the privacy negatives. I don't see how playing MP3s through VLC is making that any worse.
They told me only Biden can beat Trump, let me at the ballot box, I'm ready to vote for him for a 6th time
Technically you're the author. You're mad at yourself. 
I think the sort of slow start is beneficial to the overall pacing. It really feels like a revolution built on the unprecedented small victories of an in-over-his-head charismatic dumb guy. Kamina's not a great character, but I think it's believable the way he inspired a population of resistance fighters who had nearly been ground out of existence and turned them into the kind of organization which was willing and able to develop an actual government.
It's important for Kamina to be this ridiculous sacrificial lamb that the others follow into a situation that they don't know how to handle, before the whole plot about a dysfunctional government without its figurehead trying to stay united against an existential threat can go anywhere. If they hadn't been dragged out of the muck by Kamina, learning how they all (very poorly) manage the post-war government without him wouldn't be as interesting. Kamina is a 'perfect' (as far as the history books are concerned) leader that everyone has to strive to live up to. Because he never had to take on the challenge of managing a developed society (which he, too, would no doubt have failed miserably at) he gets to live on as this deified eternal leader who both inspires and demoralizes those who come after him. There's a simultaneous feeling that "I have to do this because Kamina would have" and "I can't do this because I'm not Kamina" that I think is made all the more interesting by how much of a dysfunctional loser Kamina was. A guy with practically no positive traits who got himself killed through his own bad decisions when his people still needed him was, somehow, the inspiring leader they all needed to make something of themselves.
All it's got for my name is some dickhead marine who lives across the country who is originally from a different city in my state. I think that means I'm doing well
He and his goons have repeatedly said he plans to "run for a third term" even though that's not a thing, what they actually mean is he intends to be president for the rest of his life no matter what people put in the ballot boxes and no matter whether that life ends in 2027 or 2197.

Why do you think so much of it happens in churches? Fascists have always been pedos. They love to perform cruelty against the weak, that's like their entire thing.
Unless you're gonna inherit millions of dollars or you're disabled enough the government will support you, you've unfortunately gotta start by finding a job that you can do long term without losing your mind. The sooner the better because you're gonna need to start tucking some money away if you don't want to work till the day you die.
If you're the kind of person who doesn't mind doing hard work as long as there's something to show for it, pick a trade. If you're the kind of person who wants easy work, get a security license.
Idk how you get a bullshit office job or I'd tell you to do that, because that sounds like the lowest effort:money ratio.
Nice cat comrade
To me it looks more like there were golden beads sewn into their clothes (and/or maybe a cloth draped over the corpse?) and obviously the cloth ceased to exist long ago.
