Don't build an identity around what you're *against*. Focus on what you're *for*.
It's easy to boo and heckle from the balcony. It is important to point at some things and say "not that". But your objective should be clear, you need a north star if you want to accomplish anything. You want your "win state" to be clear. If not for others, for yourself.
I know, I know. I sound like a fortune cookie. I'm just tired of seeing smart and passionate people waste away being miserable because they spend their time focusing on "what is bad" instead of on "how it could be good, and how to get there". I don't want them to stew in their own frustration, and I want them to be fun to be around again. Maybe I'm just talking to myself to remember to follow my own advice.
@ekuber I don't have a clear idea yet, but I know some part of it involves rebuilding the commons with an anti-capitalist wall around it. My make-shift approach at the moment is throwing the Peer Production License on everything I make until something sturdier comes along.
