We are past that point. Now is the time to protest.
Yes yes. Been protesting since 16.
Youll find that such actions are much harder in places like russia, you know, the place the opposing candidate is busy fellating.
Eta: and u didnt even address that burning the system down is easier than building anything up. Where are those systems of mutual aid we would need for a revolution to succeed? Bc the red painted fascists are busy convincing us that lgbtq folks aint in danger instead of, you know, working to make life easier for anyone.
Unless we have a global reset like tomorrow, we are heading for the climate apocalypse. We don't have time for business as usual neoliberalism. Fuck Russia. Fuck America. Fuck humanity.
We especially dont have time for burn it to the ground doomerism. Once again, it is harder to create and ammend things than it is to just take them apart. We dont have any way mutual aid systems in place, and just knee jerking at the system bc it sucks doesnt help bring those any closer.
We dont have time for neoliberal garbage, true, but we especially dont have time for the outright fascist to turn this country into a place where you have even less influence on how things go, be that by participation in the system, direct action, or what have u.
Fair take.
