I understand being burned out and frustrated. But know that a LOT of people are fighting. Every day. All over. From boycotting (have you LOOKED at Target's and Tesla's stock value lately? Serves the fuckers right) to protesting (contrary to what legacy media would have everyone believe, millions of folks turned out on April 5 and April 19, and continue planning for more protests on May 3 and beyond), to even DEMOCRATS (well, not the fucking establishment sellout twats) actually listening to their constituents... four Democrat congress folks even went to El Salvador for Abrego Garcia. Obviously, they weren't able to free him but the point is they were willing to actually try. And then there's Bernie and AOC on their fighting oligarchy tour, turning out crowds of over 30,000 (in some cases) in deep red areas.
Unfortunately, we are in for the long haul. I sure as fuck don't want to lose any more of my years to this narcissistic piece of shit and his fascist regime. So I keep looking every day not just for signs of hope, but for things I actually do to help unfuck the country. I'm seriously considering the best way I can contribute when it comes time for a general strike.
But I get it. It's probably easier to give up, sure. But that leads to subjugation, to no freedom, to that fear that every day you're going to piss off the wrong person who has the power to make you regret it... when they're not busy neglecting your community's needs. That's not a place I want to be. And instead of seeing the country to the ground, it'd be far more satisfying to see a fascist regime toppled. There is a way to speed it up, but more people need to turn out and get engaged with things (including behind the scenes).
