      The George Floyd / BLM uprisings were incredible. Truly a site to behold. And then to take abolition seriously, even for a moment, I couldn't believe it. Really warms the heart.

      CTH the sub used to be all about it before it got banned, I would like to see a return to form.

          If you can spare cash, you can go do belligerent protesting now at the Line 3 pipeline campground with Giniw. You will get that same sense of anger and hostility with them, without the urban setting. I would encourage you to channel your original feeling into whatever org is doing the best work in your area currently.

        That’s my favorite too. You just know so many people were radicalized out on those streets. And the fact it was happening in every single city was amazing. Every day a statue got taken down, people were fighting back, really gave me something to live for and I believe once it gets warm again people will be back out. This fight ain’t over.

          Tear gas and rubber bullets are not something that someone forgets. Literally took me seeing someone's leg seeping blood after they were shot from the perch of the 3rd precinct during the 2nd day of the protests before I decided to act. I remember how tear gas hits you the first time, how you literally have to run because your throat closes up. I remember all of that. Motivates a person.

      The first couple months were ok. Also some good albums happened.

          I had a pretty decent job that came with the benefit of free tickets to plays and musicals all around the city. Most of the time there were parties after work free food and booze, so I could play bourgeois while pushing for a front of house union.

        I got much more fun out of the GameCube one when I was 12 lol. I guess I’ve just grown out of it or something. Something about this one didn’t hook me, I felt like somehow the interactions with your townsfolk were more meaningful in the old game.

      Class consciousness has to have grown massively this year. "Essential worker" has come into popular discourse and there is a new understanding of what really keeps society going. The first week of BLM protests was incredible. I think we got a lot closer to revolution than we thought we did.
