I get your idealistic but can you tone it down a little
Or IGYIBCYTIDAL for short.
Man I remember when I was a communist. I was going to move to Russia and smoke cigarettes and drink vodka all day. You know, support the cause. Yeah sorry can’t mine or labour today, not enough spoons.
But you grow up, and realize it would be great if everyone was maximally empowered to live their truth, but then no one would be doing work. 99 percent of the entry workforce would self select into very few jobs.
Artist/Musician/Sport Pro/Gamer/Influencer/Whatever women want to be. Who’s scrubbing the toilets? Cutting hair? Mining or doing really repetitive hard labour? The thing required to produce things, or maintain things.
Yes yes yes it would be great to have all the good things and no bad things.
Instead we have a left wing government who has generally unpopular far left ideas. Far left ideas will fail for the exact same reason far right ideas fail. They’re not popular in practice. People don’t like them.
Look at Extinction Rebellion (XR), they’re a joke. Blocking a highway to protest climate change or throwing soup at famous paintings.
Yes they get headlines, and everyone who sees it thinks the cause is a joke. Everyone stopped on the highway, trying to get to work (hey I wonder if non-white people have to get to work on time?) aren’t cheering “Rah rah fight the power”.
This creates a backlash, which creates animus to your cause. And while your LARPing your causing real world harm to the group or idea you are either pretending to champion, or are too fucking dumb to understand that you’re hurting. In any case fuck right off.
Climate change is important and hard to solve. Any country trying to industrialize will have to use more power, which means coal because they’re not industrialized and you don’t go from mud huts to solar panel roofs in one step. Again it would be great if we could.
Here’s a fucking idea, instead of blocking the roads, gather where the roads are already blocked. Put a fucking high end paper towels on (NOT IN) their exhaust pipe and hold up the result after a few seconds. Toss the result in a pile and still be there on their way home from work. A pile of dirty paper towels. Or whatever I don’t fucking know but it’s a better idea then gluing yourself to the pavement.
Finally we get to what enraged me enough to start this.
Maybe if you’re going to advocate for something you should do so in a way that doesn’t annoy and alienate people. You probably want to grow the amount of people who support your cause, probably.
The only thing I know is that I know nothing.
