    They didn’t. They said someone close to him. You jumped from that to it being something personal for you to do.

    It’s a continuation of your doomerism. The task needs to be impossible so you can justify inaction.

    They then clarified that; for you personally doing something as simple as working with a mutual aid organization.

    But you’re doubling down on the misunderstanding. A misunderstanding that allows you to sit in doomerism and pretend that the only actions being advocated for are impossible ones.

    The point is: no, he is not some “all powerful force” that can’t be stopped. He’s a human that can be shot dead tomorrow. Because your original comment is acting like it’s time to ignore the news and close your eyes because “there is nothing I can do”.

    Go touch some grass and find a DSA or PSL meetup in your area. Just be around some people aren’t doomers. If you’re gonna stop doom scrolling that’s your best bet to not just isolating yourself in inaction.
