      I will type this again:

      This kind of reply effectively kills any momentum that COULD be achieved from sharing the collective frustrations and feelings. It’s a thought-stopper.

      Every movement and uprising against tyranny has started from enough people reaching a breaking-point and realizing that they all have to do something “right now” and this kind of “What are you doing” and “You go first” bullshit is just your own way of saying “I’m scared so you should be too.”

      You are literally serving the interests of powerful and wealthy who want to keep our population subservient and scared.

        “I’ll complain no one is actually doing anything” Then when I ask what it is you’re doing to help, you get defensive. You’re part of the problem. Im protesting, Im running for my local office, no I wont tell you which one. Im knocking on doors to get people out and vote whole it still might matter.

          Ill ignore the fact I’m not the person you responded to but this whole angle is wrong. We dont need to accuse each other we need to encourage each other. So like, maybe the response should have been, “this is what Im doing and you can totally do something too.”

          For the record, me personally, im getting involved in my community and remaining vigilant. If the tide turns Ill be on the streets with everyone else.
