    Coming from someone who has been on several weeks of mandatory leave from work because I started self harming in public after listening to yet another fucking horror show coming out of Gaza. I had to be sent home because I was crying and hitting myself.

    Which makes it all the more insane that you’ve openly yearned for a Trump presidency.

    How do you live with yourself? I’m genuinely curious, because I can barely do it. I’ve had to stop listening to news in the car or I’ll drive into traffic. I’m voting for Aaron Bushnell because they’re far braver than me. I hope Trump has a heart attack.

    By doing what I can, and keeping in mind the historical perspective.

    Tomorrow isn’t going to be a fucking utopia. Even an overwhelming, sudden, and ideologically ‘pure’ victory won’t bring a utopia tomorrow. But we fight day by day, and generation by generation, to make a better world.

      By doing what I can,

      By doing what you can without sacrificing an ounce of your own comfort. You’ve never fought for anything in your life.

      Students are out there getting their heads bashed in for protesting genocide. That is what fighting for a better world looks like.

        lmao

        You keep thinking that, buddy. :)

        Oh, goodness. I just considered - is this projection?

        If that’s the case, there are alternatives to tormenting yourself over the fact that you aren’t ‘radical’ enough to do what you think you need to.
