    No, I never advocate despair.

    Organization and preparing dual power is more important than ever. That’s why I spend a good deal of my time and money on.

    without adding violence

    I mean, I don’t necessarily agree with that myself, but I’m not demanding others make that choice.

    I am saying that putting hopes on only electoralism is not a good idea. And particularly if you’re not going to actually challenge the current Democratic party, but continue the absolutely failed strategy of the US left in falling in line with it. 2020 should have taught anyone that.

    The republicans did it; stop fighting me and fucking help

    I’m quite willing to help, and I’ve been doing it for decades. Part of why I’m bothering to spend my time arguing (instead of working on plenty of other projects I do contribute to in my community) is because this is important. The tactic of lesser evil is not only not helping, it is ACTIVELY hurting the cause.

    I’m sure that will fix it.

    My advice to anyone in the US is to either get ou if you can - or get armed and organized. That’s what I mean by you’re locked in - the time where voting someone nice in was going to resolve this and give the empire a gentle landing is probably gone. The diesel prices are up and ain’t coming down.
