Direct action is meaningless if you're hostile to building a coalition broad enough to actually gain any significant political power

The US isn't a democracy, you can't build coalitions with people who want to destroy everything you stand for, direct action got George Floyd justice not votes, and the people you back turned around and decided to fund the police to record levels, it's a war not an electoral campaign

I remember being young and convinced socialism was the way forward. Then I grew the fuck up and did some introspection.

Do you know how to communicate in anything other than thought terminating clichés?

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
