I've already given up, long since. Now I'm just bitter and cynical. I don't care. It's easier not to. Caring hurts too bad.
The left already shot itself in the foot. I saw things coming for years in the making, and I tried rousing people to action, to prepare, to get organized before it was too late. I got ostracized. Some people even called me a fascist. They thought I was trying to control them. They never wanted to hear harsh truths like "Your enemies are preparing to destroy you. If you don't prepare to respond accordingly, you will be destroyed."
Any potential leaders have been chased out of left wing spaces. All you have left are auth-comm propaganda bots shaming people and calling them cowards for not doing enough. Generally the same auth-comm propaganda bots that shamed people and called them names whenever they were trying to do something.
It's too late now. It's hilarious seeing people scramble trying to make up for lost ground. It's too fucking late. I hope they're all happy that Kamala Harris lost! I'm sure Palestinians in Gaza are so relieved...
Fuck this shit. I could've cashed in my white privilege for a cushy job, but I chose not to because I had fundamental disagreements with the systems in place and the status quo. I refused to be a part of that machine. No one cares. Now I have enemies on all sides of the political spectrum, and no one going to bat for me. My life is in a rut that I'll probably never escape. I can't do shit to change the world.
Fuck this.
