It’s just going to be crabs in a bucket until we all die, huh?

People are just going to get more and more fash, aren’t they?

EDIT: Thank you all for reminding me there are things to be hopeful for, and that organising and community are important.

        What’s the alternative? Shutting yourself off from the world until magically all the people around you have the correct politics? If I only associated with people that have zero bigotry in them I’d be talking to like 2 or 3 people IRL at most.

          Definitely agree. Ideally you’d find people with your exact political opinions, but those folks will be few and far between.

          We need a mass movement, and most folks don’t have correct politics. That means we need to work with people who don’t currently have correct politics, and educate them.

          At this stage, that IS the work.

          There is no revolution without mass organization, and building mass organization means bringing people on that don’t already agree with you.
