The Vibes today are Very Bad and if you're out there mansplaining fascism and its ills right now after ignoring our warnings for years, I hope you have an even worse week than my own
I think it’s sinking in that this is real and that they don’t have any idea of what to do
So they’re lashing out as a way to feel less helpless
It’s counterproductive AF but these folks don’t understand collective action
This is my read. I’m surprised I’m not more annoying, TBH, but I am humble enough to recognize “holy shit things are way over my head and we fucking need to leverage collective action and expertise if we want certain things to survive”
Also, I keep thinking that people’s stress personalities are off the scale right now! My belief is that when stressed, one almost has a distinct different personality than when relaxed. Think of people in airports during the holidays versus during other times, for example.
Ok, so I may know some of this stuff. What the fuck I do now? I can yammer about this stuff to friends, but that’s almost preaching to the choir. How do I proliferate MY knowledge to those not inclined to think about it all?
