People feel powerless. Letting them know how fucked up our capitalist hell world is just makes them depressed and mad with you. "there's no point caring about things you can't change. All you're doing is reminding me that everything is shit."

So what do we do? How do talk about these things with people without destroying their hope? Do you just not talk about it? I don't feel I'm ever helping anyone by dispelling imperial propaganda, it just makes them sad.

    Don’t tell people. Ask people.

    Instead of telling people, say the same shit but with a question. It gets you a lot further through barriers and resistance.

    This is the way.
