      Imagine my surprise when the election comes and goes, one way or another, and these online revolutionaries continue to do… nothing of substance. Just like 4 years ago, and the 4 years before that, and…

        see the university protests and unionization if you want an example in the us. we are organizing protests and actions, but doing systemic change is a collective endeavour.

        we actually need much more people to recognize its broken and be willing to help. that wont happen if all you do is begrudingly accept the progressively worsening lesser evils.

      Or don’t skip the polls. Both sides will shoot at you, but one side will shoot much sooner because it wouldn’t necessarily be political suicide for them.

        You also can’t do it if the backslide into full totalitarian fascism reaches the “first they came for the socialists” line in the poem.

          totalitarian fascism is already there, the crackdowns on the university protests are looking a lot like it. violence towards the protesters, a pat on the head on the fascist counterprotesters.

          and honestly its looking a lot like trump will win anyway, at least that is what the polls are looking like.

          we should be bracing for impact.

          edit: how could i forget the treatment the us gives to the third world.
