Don’t know if organizing makes sense anymore (in deep red towns at least) (hexbear.net)

I’ve shat on my local organizing group enough on here but I feel like I’m pretty safe to keep continuing to do so. They want to use GroupMe for communication and signal for “on the ground, confidential communication at protests.” I’m sort of the only one pushing back but I’m not a leader, so I have no power whatsoever. Sounds absolutely disastrous

Unfortunately I probably sound very paranoid to most in this group because lot of people do this to make themselves feel better (which you can’t really argue against).

But yeah there is nothing that resembles an organized left in 2025 and I’m starting to feel like there will never be. I’m afraid what I’m describing is happening all over the country, and how could it not be? A lot of people in my (duct-taped) org are holding out for the democrats’ hard shift left. It’s just depressing at this point

paranoia is warranted when the country you live in is becoming increasingly hostile and dangerous to your existence. the kind of leftist organizing we need doesn't exist, you're right. but that doesn't matter. we can make it exist. leftist anger is growing and that is helping attract disillusioned democrats who are actually more left than their elected officials. we can form something new and real and legitimate. don't know how but.. it feels like it'll happen sooner rather than later. tensions have skyrocketed and voices are collecting.

This is what I believe too. I think we need to be very cautious about how we organize ourselves, long gone are the days of being paranoid about everyone being a fed when we have tech oligarchs in the White House who can realistically push out scripts to crawl the web for any anti-American sentiment (red scare but emulate it this time) and ruin people’s lives because of it
