Y’all organizing at a local and national level? I have major major issues with the current system but unless there’s clear actionable things to do now, then all this post does is discourage change and voting against actual fascists.
Thank you, I get very burnt out repeating how both sidesism has fucked USA over.
Start/join a food not bombs, help your neighbours clear their outdoor space/get to an appointment/fix their computer/whatever your skillset and time allows, contribute to a strike fund, spread propaganda online or on the streets via posters stickers and flyers, those and so much more are "clear actionable things to do now". That is what revolution looks like, it isn't all blowing up pipelines and setting police stations on fire, it starts with you and your community. Start with solidarity instead of expecting others to produce a ready made revolution for you, and within the existing system? That's completely missing the point..
Yep
Local level and state level are achievable goals and align with the game theory presented in our government.
Anyone thinking nationally does not recognize the scale of the problem they're dealing with.
I'm a big fan of direct action. Find your local representative and leave a burning bag of dog shit on their door step. I'll leave ringing the doorbell up to your discretion.
