plausible?
u.s. is in near-freefall.
Every day we are settung precident for what we will and will not tolerate. Not pulling the lever on socialist revolution keeps us on track for tyranical feudalism.
We can make it plausible or sleep in the graves corprate is ordering us to dig for ourselves.
Pardon the passions, folks who have already worked out their character sheet and place in the effort.
good job recognizing your limitations. no use burning out. these things generally work best in baby steps over weeks. more like gardening than a ball game. (we can play ball games on breaks though, of course)
honestly, the simple advice isn’t always easy. it’s just better than internment camps/prison expansion.
I just get up in the morning because FOSS is beautiful.
Thanks for engaging.
fortunately there is plenty of work to harness worry to usefulness. whatever your skills, I’m sure local chapters of progressive and human rights groups could appreciate the support. even just using whatever privledge you have to shut down racist or sexist jokes and denormalizing exclusive-supremacist comments and behavior helps hold the line.
uh someone link those fight the altright videos ig. the lecture has already been done with cool production.
crossed a ripping point yes. so tactics change. it’s not too late as long as people are still alive. Like painting or sewing – we build on and salvage from mistakes. (see: transitional ethics, from social sciences)

Cracking and Packing. Learn and save yourselves, if you can.
libraries need human rights supporters to just show up and normalize the room as often as possible so badly right now.
Just being there and looking proPOC and proTrans makes the space more accessible to everyone, except the people who are frustrated by inclusive community practice flouting their desire to hunt and torture for sport.
thanks for your efforts!
more of us than one might think. and we don’t always need all diehard lefties to fight for Wages Hours and Conditions.
It’s good to turn up the signal as more people of all stripes become Unsure as instability and chaos build in our systems.
Anyway – something important to keep in mind is that a hard left turns are fought with gardens and tools and ‘barn’(etc) raisings even more than demonstrations or violence.
Labor movement, black panthers, and zapatistas are worth a quick study for grassroots practices.
admittedly, what the oligarchy and police state don’t want folks to learn about is Direct Action.
