    I tried. Prior to the election i was doing everything possible to change peoples minds. To get people together and ready for what needed to be done. Back then I was “overreacting”

    Now that trump is in office we no longer have a winning strategy. People suddenly want to pretend like they care when it’s all virtue signalling. Just like climate change, now that its too late to do anything, its ok to acknowledge that it exists.

      The winning strategy has always been worker organizing, and it certainly isn’t too late to mitigate the damage of Climate Change. Handcuffing yourself because we have no way of acting within the rules set out by the system is the exact type of nihilism the system is designed to instill, even Climate Doomerism is a tool of the oil barons to demoralize activists and organizers. We can change, and it takes organizing and overthrow of the present state of things, not playing a game created by the House to only ever allow them to win.

        But thats what im saying. People simply dont want to organize. Americans would literally rather just lay down and die than actually fix anything. I mean a US senator literally got assassinated today and yet we are not storming the capitol right now. Anything short of putting an end to this bullshit is acceptance of it

          The DNC and GOP are not hostile factions, but different wings of Capital. Organizing goes a lot further than random collective actions, but the tedious work of building organized structures, party building, doing the groundwork. We need to study former successful revolutions like the Russian, Chinese, Cuban, Vietnamese, etc and adapt what we can apply to our revolution. Parties like PSL in the US are already doing that, and are rapidly growing because they are at the forefront of resistance movements.
