Since this is at the top of active, take notes on how the alt-right radicalizes casuals. We could stand to learn a thing or two on how they reached casual right-wingers to help us with radicalizing liberals. :P

Why have you not written a manifesto yet what the fuck.
There are more ways to contribute than the things I listed. Volunteer at food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, or homeless shelters. Help host a blood drive. Donate blood. Donate plasma. Help build a mutual aid network amongst your peers or even within this community. Radicalize your social circles. Radicalize liberals online. Post donation links of comrades in need in the mutual aid community. There are a slew of other things that can be done to improve the material conditions of others or pushing forward in our goal that don't require the things I initially listed.

That is something that can be done to contribute! You contribute what you can, even if it's online, friend. This entire website is one big contribution for the left. The internet allows us to organize in ways that previous generations did not have access to. I really don't mean to come off as dunking on you at all. Every contribution counts and I appreciate every thing y'all do to give back to the community. ❤️
If you can, learn gardening skills if you don't already. I think people underestimate how important cultivating and cooking food will be as a skill should shit hit the fan. My partner and I have struggled a lot with container gardening, but have found some successes. Mostly with hot peppers.
I'm extremely sorry that things are that way for you and I understand how those circumstance might make you feel shit but I don't see how pushing against people trying to be motivational is going to help you out in the end. Motivating the troops and mobilising people is absolutely essential to your conditions improving because it is these people that will actually achieve it. Why would you fight back against that? It is strategically absurd to do so.
Trying to motivate people is great! Calling unmotivated people "cowards" not so much.
Some people respond to positive reinforcement while others respond to negative. It is necessary to approach from all angles and leftists should be aware that is what is occurring when people are doing this.
Fair enough. I guess my issue is that for someone like me, that sort of phrasing goes past simply not being motivational and verges on being discouraging. Just something to consider, strategically speaking.
Every contribution to further the left's causes in any capacity instead of rolling over and accepting our current circumstances is courageous as fuck. o7
Yep, I totally understand that. Definitely different messages required for different people.
That's part of why being a broad movement is so important. There's a huge amount of different people with different things that work for them, we must be broad with messaging and content that appeals to (and does not appeal to) different groups of people without actively fighting against the content that doesn't necessarily work for us but might work for others.
Awareness within the movement of this is an important aspect of being able to stay broad and continue to work without eating ourselves.
I agree with everything here, except for the implication that opining on whether a strategy is constructive is the same as "actively fighting against" it
