  • Where was the solidarity when the choice was an obvious fascist or literally anything else?

    Im not being condescending here:

    In every city.

    It even happens to exist outside of cities!

    You can find mutual aid groups wherever you are. If you’re asking, you need to engage beyond the bare-minimum of electoralism.

    Here’s a short vid from like past 48? hours about finding yours:

    Now go re-read and find me where I’m telling you to go cozy up to a maga-hat of any life-experience at all, and strike up solidarity with them.

    No. Quit with the doom obsession. It is a distraction so as to avoid doing something more meaningful about the root causes.

    To quote a friend: (speaking on such quislings)

    many people will unfortunately need to learn this the hard way it seems at the expense of those who take the time to see the writing on the wall those ignorant to their exploitation will seldom listen to those who try to tell them how horribly theyre being fucked “if it were really so bad id notice” theyll say “this isnt so bad” theyll say, standing on the peak of the mountain that is dunning-kruger unknowing all we can do is wait, and watch to find out what what it is that throws them into the valley of unfathomable uncertainty in the meantime we must work for each other, for those who do see how good things could be. maybe then, our greener grass will coax them into giving us a fair listen

    So, I repeat: Quit with this dopamine loop. You feel so strongly? Then go be about it.



  • Oh and everybody fucking clapped. Get over yourself because while you do whatever the fuck this is, real ones are out there building solidarity and dual power. Snap out of your neoliberal yesteryear and into the reality that what matters now is a.) channels/orgs for mutual aid b) Solidarity Economies (aka folks having a foothold in their local economies and c) Encouraging anti-authoritarian parenting methods.

    We are in this mess because we want that EZ fix. Just vote against (obtuse, christo-)fascism so you can go back to bed for 4-8 years (while magrinalized folks get to suffer) – Instead of looking at the big picture.

    You know who looked at the big picture and built (astroturfed anyway) grassroots? All these right wing ghouls.

    Im not gonna rewrite this for every clown at the top of every thread playing the blame game.

    Get involved. Engage prefigurative politics. Identify the root causes and move on to the solutions.

    Or keep yelling at scarecrows you imagine. Just dont be surprised if that turns you into someone people dont want to be around.
