If true, you’re a rarity. And it’s mostly in vain. When was the last civil right won from jail time? All I can think of from the 90s on are brutal prison sentences for activists and worsening conditions for the rest of us, with a minor blip of better conditions for LGBTQ under 2nd term Obama.
Yeah the 60s brought great change from protest, but it’s been mostly downhill since. I think of the environmental and animal rights activists of the 90s/00s in particular (ELF/ALF), who ended up with long (life?) prison sentences and gestures broadly look at the world around us? We’re living through climate collapse. They did the best they could to fight the inevitable under capitalism and paid dearly for it, for what?
The state has brutally cracked down on the left since forever, and it’s only gotten worse with technology.
If these Texans (the non christofascist) want to fight they need to start organizing and fighting with their labor. Strike.
But even then the state will find a way to oppress. The smart ones with the resources to do so are all fleeing to safer blue states.
I live in one of those safer blue states that people are fleeing to. The right to abortion is codified in our constitution unlike the federal democrat cunts who cynically fundraised off it for 50 fucking years, but yeah we’ll push them left any day now. I wonder how the states rights crowd is gonna logic pretzel themselves to go after that…
