You're telling people to do nothing and there's no point in doing anything until some imaginary worthwhile battle...

And yeah I am disheartened, of course I am, this is a terrible situation to be in. I'm arguing that we still have to fight. Everyone who understands what is going on and cares has to fight with the blitz spirit - when your enemy is much more powerful and on paper is going to kick your ass 100% certain and is bombing the crap out of you every day but the stakes are so high you fight anyway and fight harder.

In the MAGAsphere anything other than trumps delusions is fake news.

This is why noone should EVER trust people like this. Tech billionaires are not to be trusted. Billionaires are not to be trusted. Corporations are not to be trusted.

Any black person disabled person or woman promotes diversity by the fact that they are diverse. This is the start or removing any diverse person from employment in a position of prestige or power.

I personally think we have to find a way to eliminate psychopaths, sociopaths, narcassists and other cluster B's from any kind of role of power. Not just government but also business.

That's interesting, I'd never heard of that before. I know that people who are aphantasic often still dream with vivid mental images, so, it like they aren't able to access them consciously and maybe the triggers help you in a similar way.

Instagram isn't for sex is it?

I get that you're disheartened but pick yourself up.

Do you know that the vast majority of people lived in absolute poverty, working every working hour for not enough money to eat?

That's really wage slaving, when you're too poor to have a home or even to rent a bed and you sleep stood up against a rope to stop you falling on the floor.

Or you can't make it and you go into a workhouse, separated from your kids and made to work for no money and given gruel to eat.

The way people got out of that hell was to organise, to fight, to keep fighting. That's how workers won ALL the rights which are normal in the west - minimum wage, no child labour, maternity pay... Every single decent law was fought for.

So don't tell me we or you have it hard right now, just because things are harder than you're used to and we're all scared.

We've had it easier all our lives and most of us didn't want to go out of our comfort zone to fight to make life better. Our chickens are coming home to roost now.

Let's try to lift each other up instead of demoralising each other.

Agreed its not likely but it's not possible to give up. I mean, it could and has been worse. We aren't slaves, our country hasn't been invaded, we aren't living in Russia... It could be worse and we can't give up or it will probably get worse.

They could be organising huge nationwide protests or storming the capitol like he did. They could be telling the truth like AOC and Bernie
