My recommendation: let it go. Too many people on lemmy demand The People here do things differently. More and more I'm finding that people are more interested in the entertainment of watching protests somewhere else from them than in getting involved in their local communities. I have no interest in performing for the internet the role of protestor, and am much more interested in being involved where I am in making changes. If lemmy wants to be a cesspit of obnoxious keyboard warriors telling eachother to do something and prove they're doing something, that's fine, it doesn't need us. If it's just going to be an energy sink, it's going to exist in a place of making us less, not more, effective as mobilized participants in social good.

That's SUPER helpful. Thank you!!

I agree with your advice. It's sad to me that a lot of people are simply venting as a weird means of "enjoying" the spectacle of it all.

Thanks for sharing those resources. The "full spectrum resistance" book they link seems particularly interesting! I very much appreciate you taking the time.

But you're exactly right: the people who are actually making a difference aren't doing it for show.

Stay safe out there. <3
