Hot take that so many post here. What are you doing to change it? Hitting a downvote button? Wow, that'll change the country.
This take has, is, and never will, change anything. Absolutely useless anchors. You're not starting a revolution. Either fucking do something or live with it.
I'm doing exactly what I told you to do.
I am getting organized with a revolutionary party, doing outreach and education in my community, forming coalitions, marching in protests and chanting at rallies. I'm doing what exactly was done to win civil rights reform, women's suffrage, the new deal, etc. etc. etc, and I'm doing so with a party that is prepared to lead the country should they ever get the chance to do so.
Lmao. "anchor" is a funny term to use when you're the one too busy wallowing in your own sorrow to get out on the streets and fight for a better tomorrow.
Yes, yes, you've chosen the latter, I've chosen the former and I'm giving you a kick in the ass to do the same. That is the premise of this conversation.
I don't know what tomorrow will look like, but I do know one thing; a revolution sure as hell isn't going to happen with such a defeatist attitude. If I'm going down, I'm going down fighting to the bitter end. I am not content to sit around and watch the world burn as I twist myself in knots trying to absolve my own personal guilt for being part of the problem.
Edit: I thought this was a different thread but I'm leaving it as is cause it fucking goes for you too.
What party?
PSL
Also exactly what you told me to do... You told me to do nothing in your comment. So you just have been remembering another comment. All you did was complain that America has always been bad.
Where can I find information on PSL by the way?
Edit: found it here https://pslweb.org/
And yes sorry I got mixed up and thought you were replying to this comment. But in a way I did tell you to work outside of the system.
No worries, shit happens, I hope your day only gets better.
Thanks comrade ✌️ same to you
Here is the party website
Here is the party newspaper
And here is a media network that has deep ties with the party and frequently features party activists.
Thanks, I found the first site and was looking through it. Some of it looks interesting, other parts are clear propoganda though. Things like this sow doubt in evetything else:
Turning deaths from a virus in a game, and only cherry picking the information that makes one country look good. When in the end death rates were high.
Example:
Atlanta Falcons 28 New England Patriots 3
Looks great... But the Patriots won the "game." Honestly it feels gross to even compare deaths to games... But that's what they are implying.
I like a lot of the other things they have to say though.
agitprop gonna agitprop ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ being propaganda doesn't inherently make something bad, it's what the propaganda is in service of. This propaganda is in service of leading America away from its fascistic, ecologically and socially destructive, global hegemony. I tend to think that's pretty good but opinions may differ.
