      I get what you said, allow me to be more direct.

      Spare me your sanctimony.

      I not only have the right, I have a duty to laugh at them because they are arguably in the best position possible to succeed, but will not because their very ideology of libertarianism neuters any potential for them to challenge the security state. They, by the very methods and funding that makes them able to publically flail to stop the war, do not see the mass withdrawal of labor as a viable method of public expression, even though it is the only viable method of expression available to us. They will fail, not due to institutional violence, but neutered by their own nature. It is absolutely tragic and hilarious.

      Our failure was a tragedy. Theirs will be a comedy.

      Of course it does not change the matter. But what would you have me do? An adventurism? Call for a general strike on Facebook? Create a dank anti-war TikTok meme? It is difficult enough to organize mildly radical union work, let alone an unrelated work stoppage.

      The Persians are coming, and I am content enough to roll my pot up and down the street.
