    There are thousands of little bougie careerists that want nothing more than to be in the Neoliberal Politics Industrial Complex. Whether it be working for the party itself, an NGO, a nonprofit, media etc. They're young and online just like us, except they're fucking awful and actually have access to power.

      honestly sometimes i wish i could just be like them and not care about anything or anyone and only pursue money. but every time i try, i just can't do it. once you've opened your eyes, you can't really close them again. because even if you do, you still know what the truth is that you saw. you can't forget. in a way i wish i was like them. i wish i could be a woke liberal techbro who loves obama and thinks bernie is too radical. at least that way i'd live out the rest of my life ignorant of the the truth. i wouldn't have to constantly suffer the consequences of knowing the inevitability that awaits us in the form of rising fascism brought on by the climate apocalypse and deteriorating material conditions. the choice is socialism or barbarism and socialism seems too far and unreachable...

        I tried for a while but when you don't have the privilege and connections they do, it sucks just as bad but you turn your anger inwards, blaming yourself for not achieving what you think you're supposed to.
