Another fucking lib was lecturing me that the only choice I have is which guy I endorse to commit genocide and I broke down and listed all the shit I've done fighting for a better world my whole fucking life, all the trauma, all the pain, all the horror, all the hard work and sweat and tears and misery and frustration. And they just smugly replied "Oh yeah I'm very political myself I've seen people like you and we just let you pretend to be freedom fighters" and I hate them all so much.
rather pretend to be a freedom fighter than sit back and enjoy the status quo
you were obviously talking with some extremely pessimistic, extremely incurious person. only a lib can look at direct political action and dismiss it as playing pretend. that's why liberalism will never address the unresolvable contradictions in society. even by just caring enough you're already a better person that that dingus.
Thanks, comrade. Idk if I could keep going without the folks here to provide sanity checks like this.
