In my personal opinion, one of the most effective things you can do is collective bargaining. And on that note, imo not enough people have been convinced that somethings got to change. You have to have that consensus before real change.
Western neoliberal democracy isn’t the only option and, depending on perspective, was part of the problem by systemically enabling the rise of fascism.
so…what, then? roll over and “ohwellnothingicando” and call it a day?
I never said that, but imo you shouldn’t feel bad for lack of action or inability to change things. You should do what you can, but if you need to look at some moths enjoying some lamps, that’s totally fair.
Our struggles are like a marathon, not a 100 meter dash, you got to find joy when you can.
i understand this sentiment, i really do. but people are being kidnapped, deported, MURDERED.
i’m glad that the moths make you feel better.
all it does for me is to reinforce the impulse that not only are we as a people just fucked, but also we as a people can’t be bothered to deal with the fact that we’re fucked
again, i’m not telling anyone what to do. except: enjoy your moths
People really be arguing in favor of bread and circuses without understanding it is the very thing that is keeping them from engaging in political action for change.
what gave you that idea? perhaps the fact that no one’s doing anything but posting moths?
enjoy your moths
The current state of western democracy?
