I get that reality sucks, but that doesn’t make your delusions correct :3c

edit: this is specifically about the US, hence the reference to the “liberal experiment” as it was once called. Yes, many other countries are not past the point of no return, but very few are not in grave danger.

    If you think I’m advocating apathy, you’re doing yourself a disservice. We need to fight to live and help each other, but we cannot rest our hopes on dead ends.

    • Only local elections matter: the federal level is totally under fascist and oligarchic control. Local office is where electoral efforts should’ve always focused. The DSA were the only American leftists to see significant results.
    • Focus on class: the rich are pillaging hard, so mobilizing to combat it is essential. They’re a salient threat and a more long term enemy than the blonde tyrant.
    • Help provide basic services like food, water, shelter, and especially healthcare: Healthcare is a major unmet need in this country that mutual aid networks can work on.
    • The social contract is long gone: state violence is becoming more common, so don’t worry about laws being more than justifications for roaming marauders(cops) to attack with impunity. Your only right now is the right to do whatever you deem necessary.

    There’s more than enough to do without thinking a corpse can be resurrected.
