The things shes done to women trying to tell their stories, and the propping up of Trump because she thought it was a layup, yeah I would have to delusionally convince myself that Im always right in order to keep living without a self harm level of guilt too.
There’s not enough of us, and definitely not enough of us with actual force, or any skills useful to applying or upkeeping that force. I’ve spent a lot of time finding my local revolutionary minded kin and what I learned is aim small. Have a small circle you can sustain, learn to grow food, get good at running, and keep a well maintained weapon. When shit hits the fan build parallell societies or camps or communes or whatever. Keep your network big and your goals small. Also learn ham radio. With a car battery and a wire antenna placed high enough, the 20m and 40m bandwidths can propagate worldwide day and night. Most people would rather watch fascism win and be in peace than try to fight it but be in conflict.
I keep beating this drum every time they use a fake concern for people of colors well being as a reason to vote Biden but they don’t want to hear it. It’s so wild they’ll stick their heads as deep in the sand as MAGA when it’s news they don’t like. They’re so terrified any bad news means trump will win they’ll drown out and censor shit like this and then don’t realize why people call them Blue MAGA. The Republicans hate any facts that dont let them be racist and Democrats hate any facts that make Biden look bad. Cant wait until they tell us ‘no on could have seen this coming’
Okay and if that ‘Democrat’ opposes the whole party agenda and literally prevents movement toward the Democrats party goals, then it doesn’t really matter if he says hes a democrat or not? May as well run someone who will work with your party because Manchin was functionally a Republican.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s even possible to be a good person when at the end of the day I’ve been funding this military for decades. Like why even bother trying to be good if I have little choice but to materially support genocide, how would one even ‘balance that out’?
Based on what hes let slide in Gaza Ukraine should be asking if they can bomb civilian blocs in Moscow though. Who cares about popularity when your people are dying?
There is absolutely no pressure on Biden to stop aiding genociders, just empty words. Nothing is going to happen to Biden if he doesn’t change course, there are no consequences. There is more pressure on Biden to sanction the ICC with the maga republicans because those comments are coming from Netenyahu and he can actully evoke material consequences by fucking with the AIPAC funding.
Give Ukraine the budget and free passes the world gives Isreal and the war would be over in a month. And Ukraine is fighting against an actual military.
The fight for 15 started in 2012, 12 years ago. Inflation alone puts that above 21 bucks in post pandemic dollars, rising with inflation and rising worker productivity should get us to somewhere close to 27.
Everything costs more, housing prices near me still rising, and my wage stays the same. If this is what a good economy looks like then give me a bad one.
