I really have lost my former tolerance for "we're doomed/fucked/it's all over/they've won" takes at this point, in that they're the most dangerous attitudes one could possibly have when confronted with a truly existential political threat (which we still DO have levers to address).
I simply don't buy the very common argument of "none of the options available to me are extreme enough so I'm going to continue to do nothing"
If you can't even hold your stomach and do some harm reduction how the fuck am I supposed to expect you'll be there when we need to march and strike?
lots of "I wasn't suggesting anyone actually firebomb a walmart, I'm just being sarcastic about how much I hate this country"
shit, man, I think that might be worse. at least the firebombing guy seems to have hope
