I believe in you.
Bit idea: be an active and principled socialist and fight the doomerism with action instead of distraction.
I'm really appreciative of this fact, it could've possibly went so bad but instead it went soooooo good. Like we're two sides of the same coin.
is it bad to join an org (probably PSL) almost entirely because I want friends
Thats a good reason to join an org. Why do you think we call each other comrade?
I met my my current longterm partner in an organising space, I didn't really have a lot of social connections after I came out, and now all of my closest friends are my dearest and most trustworthy comrades
just dont be a weirdo about it, I definitely have met my share of creeps in organising spaces
Whenever I'm feeling doomer I force myself to engage with the unhoused to remind myself of my privilege and position to affect change, however miniscule. Improving another surviving human's material conditions, however modestly, is infinitely nourishing to my sense of purpose and motivates me to get involved again. Also unhoused people are often cool as fuck.
Does shitposting in my union group chat count as praxis?I'm agitating!C'mon, you'll enjoy it!
Unionizing is the most alive and in control of your own destiny you will ever feel. It’s also boring as shit a lot of the time. Something something dialectics.
