As someone who’s not a doomer, with her Rage fueled Hope, and Hope fueled Rage:
Deep down, I know you cant believe this status quo can stand for much longer than it has.
If someone earns a dollar they didnt work for, someone else worked for a dollar they didnt earn.
As someone who’s transitioned out of economic privilege, I know how hollow all that iPicketFence really is.
You cant really expect others to aspire to that plastic existence.
You can’t really believe that endless colonization, that your comfort depending on someone of lower economic class existing, wont eventually result in fascism.
So that’s why the “Scratch a lib and a fash bleeds” phrase rings true. Thank you for airing out all your laundry for all to screencap, demonstrating just how that when we discuss what neoliberalism pushes, we can see it for thr prefiguration of a right wing authoritarian regime waiting to cannibalize it’s own nation.
Austerity Kills. Food Not Bombs. Housing is a human right. No Human is Illegal. Threats to the bodily autonomy of any Non-Man or Non-White are a threat for all. These are not utopia or naive, these are the bare basic conditions of humanity that have been stolen from the people, and causes for which local organizing today can tangibly improve lives being lived now AND prefigure a society that we can maybe even, someday have good reason to be proud of. Screw the fear, screw the dread, go build some connections with folks who are also putting in the work for these things, it reinvigorates the soul. (And sure helps reduce time spent with your pocket amulet)
Good luck. You gonna need it
And yeah I probably have no need to mask anything online. It’s just a habit
So from now on I will be brutally honest here
No way you even read all that. More proof you’re not here in good faith. Dont be surprised noone wants to engage with your mindtrack even in the most milktoast-mild of leftist community. Byyeeeee
