I’ve been so radicalized that I don’t give a damn about this stupid species anymore.
Seriously. If most people didn't care enough to prevent this I don't see why I should care enough to help reverse it. Not when half the humanists are giggling accelerationists.
Edit: Of course, I'm GOING to do what I can.
But FUCK if people don't do everything they can to make that as hard as possible.
Sad thing is that our views shouldn't be thought of as "radical," because they are more well thought-out & considered than more "conventional" views. What has led me to despair is the fact only such a small percentage of humans can be bothered to try for that level of understanding.
It’s radical because it’s a departure from the status quo, not because it’s badly planned. The word radical has been turned into a negative by those vested in the system.
I want to fly this flag at my next protest.
I've been slowly getting my minority friends acquainted with firearm use, we have been taking first aid classes and a few have gotten into self-defense lessons.
Through steering conversations at work I think I'm pulling a couple people around to changing their next votes, but they're definitely turning against the regime (and capitalism in general) regardless.
My parents told me, repeatedly, as a teenager, I'd get more conservative as I get older. Jokes on them, I've managed to drag them to be more progressive.
it's more fun in greek, and it lets you teach a little history lesson if you put ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ on the flag instead
I don't know that getting more radical will help. I've seriously mused, at numerous points in my life, very 'radical' action, but unless I've become willing to 'pull the trigger' on that, radicalizing my views won't help any of this. Neither me nor the world.
Fuck.
