After several rounds of trying to radicalize the democrats in my life, watching them revert back to their bullshit the second something bad happens — I can’t fucking do it anymore. I got my Mom and frankly that’s all I care about.
I’m not saying people shouldn’t try, I would never say that, but check out if you’re gonna loose yourself.
Yeah, you gotta keep your sanity. I'm not going to blame your for that. Stay safe.
Revived my Lemmy.ml account, can confirm that this has never been easier, Lemmy.ml is easy mode and even .worlders are more open than ever before. There's a great thread over on c/agitprop pinned with resources you can pull from to use, including a fantastic list from @ReadFanon@hexbear.net. Uphold ReadFanon thought!
Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent.
Get out there and Combat Liberalism! 
You can view Cowbee's profile here @Cowbee@lemmy.ml, read through their comment logs. This is a great comment for example.
I checked back and it's still absolutely hell
Really? Seems easier than ever for me.
Everywhere I go I just see people saying that bad voters and non-voters have caused the end of the world.
This is some of the easiest to agitprop against, flip it on the dems for failing to cater to leftists and liberals instead of catering to the right like Liz Cheney.
Easiest are the lemmy.ml communities; start there. Copy other comrades' talking points.
100%, Lemmy.ml is easy mode, and the mods are on our side there. Lemmy.world has bigger gains if you do it right, but is much harder to get away with.

Well shit, I didn't expect anyone to find it useful that I'm red, mad, and nude online. Honestly I was just venting in that comment.
Oh stop, you know everyone here loves your writing 
to be honest, we are already stupid, resources should have been prepared months ahead of time
This is just confronting the fact that this website isn't actually a leftist organization; it's just a website with leftists on it
That may not be such a bad thing. A forum to share info and news and tactics that doesn't have confidential info on any particular organization does have its place.
has been preparing and is putting that plan into action
but i *am * stupid
But doctor
😳 hey
So I'm cynical as fuck and I have to say, the young(ish) Libs in my life are starting to perk their ears to what I've been laying down.
I start every conversation with, "why would an elite in the millionaire/billionaire class want to help you?" And end with, "power is not elected; it's taken."
I see gears starting to turn.
No offense DirtyOwl but you're an Aussie. Idk what it's like in Australia, but on the ground here things are pretty dismal. All the Libs are scratched, the DNC already seems to be formulating a right wing shift, there's no leftist infrastructure to take advantage of.
I've lived through like 4 moments in history that should have been a wake up call to Libs, they never work. There no working class party in the US because there no demand for one, even in marginalized communities. And it's not just propaganda, it's the will of the people, American hogs love being atomized, narcissistic, individualistic consumers and will lash out at anything that threatens that.
It is dismal here too, yeah, and I can't even begin to imagine how horrible it must be for my US comrades, but if we can protect some vulnerable people from those scratched liberals by directing them to leftist orgs that can help them, shouldn't we?
Like, what should we do? Nothing? Nah, doing nothing is for libs.
I know it probably isn't my place, sure, but I don't want you guys to give up hope.
doing nothing is for libs.
Can we make this the site's official motto? I am completely serious.
There's really no orgs with the resources to do anything in the US. In most cities the left can barely pull off a crappy soup kitchen.
I mean yeah we should try and do something, but I'm not going to lie to people about their prospects. And honestly it may be better for peoples mental health to accept defeat than struggle on in futility, at least then you can 
I’ve heard many people posit the idea that Americans do not have a culture, but I think it’s worse than that.
American hogs love being atomized, narcissistic, individualistic consumers and will lash out at anything that threatens that.
I fear this just is what American culture IS.
This is one obstacle to left organizing in the States I think gets ignored. Americans have no sense of community, because Americans hate each other. Including the leftist ones. You see it here, we call Amerikkkans Burgerbrained hogs, but now you want me to organize these hogs? I fucking hate them, and they hate me. My ultimate goal is to fuck off to a cabin in the woods away from these pathetic creeps, and you want me to put my life on the line trying to give them help they largely don't want?
Yes, but how
We really need to re-emphasize reading theory to everyone here again huh
Idk I heard this Mao guy had some cool ideas
I made a theory intro guide (focused on Marxism-Leninism and intersectionality), feel free to let me know what you think! Trying to fill in any gaps and trim any fat from a basic reading list
Mao Ze Dong? more like Mow Ze Lawn
if you mean you're looking for lib-friendly talking points, look here. if you mean how can marginalized people protect themselves and their communities, idk
Death to America
marcie does fantastic work, holy shit, saving this for later. Need to up my OpSec...
If you have questions about Tor, I can probably answer them. I spent some time voulenteering and getting into (understanding) Tor.
I want to read the guide more fully once I am home, I'll shoot questions your way once I get them, thanks!
Going back into the activism next week. I sort of have a history of crash and burn cycles.
