Inspirational Skeletor💀
Notthesmartestguy@skeletor radicalization is an expression of despair not an alternative. Be the light, do the work, stand firm.
JP@Notthesmartestguy @skeletor when people do those things, one of the most common outcomes is that they get called by "radical" by people who are scared of the concept of standing for anything. respectability and reasonableness got us to the current moment of darkness and they will not get us out of it. you should reflect on why it was your instinct here.
I spent a long time mad. I volunteered for voting judge I talked to everyone I knew about politics. It changed nothing, it made nobody’s life better. But it sure isolated me.
Instead I tried a new tactic. Donating to food banks and blood helps people now. Building community lifts everyone. Helping you and yours feel safe and calm during this time helps all of you.
Being upset all the time aids no one, and keeps you upset and easily manipulated.
@Notthesmartestguy @skeletor do you think being radicalized means being upset?

As someone with real honest-to-goodness major depression, I can 100% guarantee that despair is not even closely related to radicalization, except in that they often share causes.

I’m sorry you have major depression, I have loved ones fighting that battle and I hope you are getting the help and support you need.
Having said that, everyone can feel despair of some flavor, if not to the extent that some do.
