These organizations are sitting ducks, you should have made plans to leave years ago! That’s their role, convince foreigners that Americans will revert back to FDR-style imperialism and somehow reform that, like their grandfather orgs WWP and CPUSA etc. promised. I don’t make demands for people to perform fruitless symbolic actions. It’s “make noise with signs” or “make noise with guns” and it’s all completely disorganized.
Do you understand in 20 years children there will have no prospects? They’re not online yet so you can’t have online beef with them yet
I mean… honestly I have been intending to make those plans so years… so that’s on me 😝 Like literally pops is a German immigrant, I could have citizenship there, but it took a friend 8 years.
But part of me always comes back to the USA being my home, not something to be abandoned when shit gets rough. I don’t really consider myself politically motivated or minded, I didn’t vote for most of my life… nor does it really matter with the electoral college in my particular zip code. And somehow nothing local that really matters to me or has any bearing on my quality of life ever seem to make it on the ballot.
Maybe going to a protest is pointless, maybe it’s not. Maybe the point is not what changes on the ground but how we are perceived by the world at large.
Lastly… it seems less risky than anarchy or “direct action.”
Granted I am already a terrorist for thinking, seditious thoughts while duceing it out yesterday morning… but I’ll try the protest first 😅
In any case you should join (or build) an org that aligns with your goals. There is not much we can do alone. Friends sadly are not a reliable source of revolutionaries but being organized might even convince some.
Yeah… that’s kind of what I’m saying though… if I go full out revolutionary, I’m probably not gonna trust anybody to have my back… and not belabor the point, but if this country goes to totalitarian, I’m going revolutionary.

That nice thing is that friends may not be a good source of revolutionaries, but revolutionaries tend to be a good source of friends
