They are coming down hard on protestors because the powers the be are scared and weak. They are stretched thin and are incompetent. They lost Vietnam, they lost the Middle East, they lost Cuba, they lost North Korea, they lost Ukraine and they’ll eventually lose the world.
You are currently in the claws of the beast and the beast is dying. You will be free of it’s clutches, keep biting its hands. It’s squeezing you because your bites hurt it. Do not give up.
I haven’t taken my own life despite feeling like the world is designed to convince me to do that and that’s a fucking victory in my book
I wish I could do more to help other people but I am struggling to find a reason to live and ngl seeing a bunch of college kids out there fighting for a better future is inspiring and makes me want to stick around
In the same boat. A few months ago it got so bad I sat on the window parapet contemplating whether to do it or not, but seeing students stand up for what is right and the empire beginning to show massive cracks reminded me of why I’m still alive and why we must keep going
This was me and watching the police get absolutely overwhelmed by the BLM protestors. We really are stronger than them if we work together.
Keep fighting the good fight, comrade.
One thing that helped me when I was severely suicidal a few years ago was to remind myself that this is an altered state of consciousness and the dark thoughts are not me, or at least not the me I want to be. Looking back the mind frame I was in back then is more foreign than any drunken stupor or high. This was a very bad, very long trip but it did end.
