Whether Russia gets on that level or not, that’s a consideration for another day.
Maybe you’re right. Maybe I’m overly pessimistic about it. But I just don’t think it’ll pan out the way you hope. I don’t see dependence on Russia panning out well for more than just a little while. Maybe it’s worth a moment’s respite, but I worry it only perpetuates the cycle, not breaks it.
What the fuck do you want, man? I’m working all the hours I can just to still not make enough to cover my bills. I barely have any time or money for myself. I try to join events, and I try to volunteer a little time here and there to contribute to things, but I can’t champion every cause even if I recognize it’s one worth fighting for. Just because I don’t meet whatever arbitrary minimum standard you want to set doesn’t mean I don’t care, and it doesn’t mean I don’t try to help make things better.
The cold truth is that no usian really cares, they’re too busy scrolling smartphones and eating bad food to stop supporting either reds or blues to do the same fucking thing in the office. No real change will come from the extremely racialized and racist, too individualist, US society.
Don’t assume I approve of that even a little bit.

What are you doing against it?
