Comrades, with the recent news coming from the concentration camps in Georgia and Texas, I have been feeling incredibly complicit about what I see as a lack of action from the average person on getting the detainees out.
I've often felt disgust towards the citizens of other fascistic regimes throughout history, and how they did nothing while people less privileged than they were slaughtered. Now, I am feeling that same disgust for myself, but I don't know what is to be done.
I don't want to make a call to violence, but I know that neither Biden nor Trump will actually change the conditions of these camps. And, at the same time, I don't want to wait for the inevitable years-long "investigation" into these abuses to end up saying "yep, it was genocide," or worse. Am I crazy for wanting to see actual physical resistance against these camps and the people running them? Am I crazy for wanting to be a part of that resistance?
I just know that I would have wanted to be brave enough to resist Nazis had I been alive in Eastern Europe during their regime. Unfortunately, it feels like that level of resistance to genocide and discrimination will never happen on a wide scale here. Idk just feeling helpless and complicit in my inaction
im not trying to organize anything / do anything that could get this site into legal trouble. i just feel incredibly hopeless when faced with these peoples' suffering, with the knowledge that any electoral action is pointless, any organizing / mutual aid wont be enough, and any physical action inevitably futile
that last part is maybe wayyy too pessimistic. idk, i suppose that the point of this post was to just see if other people felt and think the same, because frankly, i feel crazy just having these thoughts on my own
thanks for the thoughts and advice comrade. i appreciate it :')
Train, young grasshopper. There is a way this plays out where many rise at once. If and when that path is traveled, you will want to be ready. You are not crazy or alone, but we're still only in the second inning of the world series. Stay angry, train calm, be ready.
