I wish upon a star that we could be a generation that takes power back for the average worker and uses our strength in numbers as leverage to have a better quality of life by making the wealthy pay their fair share.
But it’s looking like our historic legacy is going to be that of a fool generation that votes against their own interests and refuses to stand up for themselves.
The bigger problem right now is that unlike revolutions of old, this time there are millions of people who adore and cherish their overlords and would literally fight to the death to protect them for no other reason than ideological.
This is a message the media owners want us all to accept.
In my experience, very few people want to die or commit violence for some billionaire’s agenda.
Most people just want to live their lives and maybe live to see the assholes in charge have to pretend to care what the rest of us think.
Seeing shit like this play out just makes it harder to keep going. At this point it’s a matter of when I do it, not if. What point is there if it’s only getting worse? I’ve seen my best years by now

A very embarrassing time to be an American.

Reactionaries are paper tigers. They’ll flee or switch sides when the going gets rough.

Your choice, of course.
But there’s something to be said for living as well as well can in spite of the bullshit. Especially if there’s folks that rely on us.
The most punk thing for me to to as a person of queer is to keep living, but God is it hard to find the spirit.
I get that.
I take some comfort that - I know I won’t outlive every asshole, but I think I can outlive a bunch of them.
(This bunch in particular. A bunch of them are ancient.)
