It's not a dichotomy. It's a bunch of entitiesthathave made very extreme choices somewhat pervasively, and another entity that has made very different choices as much as it could.
It would not be healthy to identify with something so thoroughly hostile to me.
I don't know how not alone I am here, but I haven't been here long and have formed no close connections. It does not change the fact of interacting with libs.
I haven't found any active orgs in my region. I check periodically.
I tried therapy, two psychologists in a row literally could not comprehend being part of an unjust system when it came up. They just, like, blue screened. I'm well aware that this is unhealthy; I wouldn't be upset if it wasn't, but you can't magically conjure a solution into existence with wishes and fairy dust. Sometimes all the food is gone, and all the leather shoes are eaten, and you can't find any rats, and you just starve for a bit. Hello rat friend, would you like to share a pot of tea?
'well meaning' in a framework of 'justifying being a monster', yes. I find conversations with avowed monsters and literal psychopaths more rewarding and more sources of genuine connection than libs.
I don't know if I believe victory is possible at this point. With the climate going how it is, and nuclear arsenals increasing, I feel like the hour is getting pretty damn late. I don't need to believe I can win to keep going, that's some lib hopeium bullshit, but I do feel isolated, I do feel other, and I do get much better reactions from libs when I interact with them sans respect, treating them like the objects they strive to be rather than the beings capable and deserving of respect honesty and autonomy they damn well should be.
Is it right to rob someone of their precious chains against their will? To take the only thing they really own while they scream and spit and claw at me in protest? The only thing they ever learned to make for themselves, and then promptly cauterized the parts of their brain that can take new information? The only thing they really love and cherish? Fuck if I know. I just try to plant gardens and shit so somebody can have a snack and shade after eviction.
There's a lot going on here, and I don't know you outside this interaction, so I can't pass judgement or determine what you are doing right or wrong. All I can say about this in particular is I hope you can find someone who understands what you feel.
I will or I won't, to whatever degree. Libs will remain frustrating sources of alienation.
Best wishes and crap. Or... Whatever kind of wishes you'd prefer; I'd hate to be prescriptive. Maybe you want kind of a shitty day to make a good dramatic arc? Not judging.
