Just need to vent, I swear to god the revolutionary potential in America is just not there. So many people just have zero ideological conviction and because we're not subject to the worst of the empire's violence many feel no constant need to fight it, an encampment can end and so many people just go to brunch. The constant need to fight against the empire's propaganda, infiltrated orgs, and most of all the powerful combination of privilege and individualism is so incredibly exhausting. All that feels good to do is sit home, read theory and talk with my closest comrades, I can't be led into another unprepared police raid by people who had just collaborated with the kops, or in an org led ultimately by some undemocratically elected leader, or talk to another "ML" or anarchist white boy that can't even admit racism and imperialism still fuckin exists.

    We're not going to be able to get a real majority mass movement going within a generation. But we can still build up institutions and connections, and take actions that sting the belly of the beast, or maybe even put a band around the stomach.
