I do regularly say "I don't want to live in this world any more".

Between utter failure to make progress on stopping global warming, to the rich pushing fascism on the rest of us, so they can avoid the consequences of global warming, it feels like everything is going to keep getting worse for hundreds of years.

@alienghic

my attitude is to go down fighting

if you're surrounded by 20 goons, you can feel hopeless

or you can go out swinging with a stupid grin on your face

that's my approach

"rage rage against the dying of the light" and all that

anyone who just curls up in a ball and accepts defeat?

this is not the real left

all there is, and ever was, in this world, is the good fight

you fight, you may lose

you may also win

if you give up you will lose

there are no better terms in this world

@tek @alienghic

😂

it's true though

i can't stand fucking whiners "on the left" talking defeatism. or so fucking stupid they don't understand that that is what not voting is

even if they are invested in some other attempt to defeat #fascism

that other track will have tactical thinkers going "oh, but also #vote, that's good vandalism/ sabotage"

all these fucking whiny entitled lazy assholes "on the left" are nothing but willingly and meekly submitting to fascism if THEY DON'T FUCKING VOTE

Most of my life I have watched Democrats split their early vote around five plus candidates, while the GOP usually offers only one in opposition.

It speaks somewhat to party unification and effectiveness if one party is already at least going through the motions of being on the same page.

@Barbramon1 @Chancerubbage @benroyce @tek

I sometimes wonder if the left's pattern of arguing and being unwilling to compromise wasn't at least partially caused by COINTELPRO style disruption and psychological warfare.

@alienghic @Barbramon1 @benroyce @tek

There never should have been a Bernie Bro/ Centrist split. But I think it was encouraged welcome by opposition. Call them commies, etc.

Encouraged by a history of democrats successfully getting a majority by playing centrist.

@Chancerubbage @alienghic @Barbramon1 @tek

centrists fucking suck

but, as someone who voted for bernie in the primaries and gave him money, then voted for hillary in the general *because i'm not fucking stupid*, fragile narcissistic toxic idealists fucking suck too

centrists have no heart:

they smile meekly as we march to fascism

toxic idealists have no brain:

yes we want a real left agenda. but you still fucking vote to prevent fascism. perfection is a myth for small children
