I’m cynical because I think the left needs a big wake up call. We all talk about being critical thinkers and intelligent and they’re dumb and we’re smart. But we have lost everything the past few decades. I don’t just mean politically. The Internet was seized by the right. All these channels. Influencers. They Sid Meier “Civ 6” culture bombed us while we were fucking around with our tech tree.
I don’t see how a protest does anything. They can ratchet up the aggression far quicker then we can. I fully believe the people yelling the loudest right now will be the first to go home when the risk increases.
I’m hoping people do get mad at me. But then realize they’re also cynical and doing the same shit with everything going on around them. We need to be more critical and we all need to be more cynical because maybe that might motivate change.
There is better ways. Fight through culture. It’s insane to think we’re winning against armed trained thugs. We need to do what they did. They pay for these bots and influencers. We need to do it organically. Lemmy should be a generator of this stuff. Instead we’re posting about beans and Ed Sheeran. Like I found a clip with Sam Seder the other day that was cool. Thought maybe I’d post it here. There’s no fucking where to post that content. I can post headlines.
