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

@benroyce

At least some of the ppl who didn't vote are showing up for community defense and vice versa. It would be great if we could direct the rage at the fascists.

@tek @alienghic

@vervain @tek @alienghic

of course

you do both

anyone who thinks you only need to do one of those is an idiot

it's just poor tactics

it's a war. and you don't ignore one battlefield just because you think you can. that's how you get defeated

@benroyce
I agree.

And you can also get defeated by refusing to allow for differences in your coalition. We are stronger together.
