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

I've had more success being consistently That Guy spouting Leftist Nonsense consistently, then letting people cook. People need to become disillusioned with their own stances before they stop defending them, and getting constantly let down or harmed is often the quickest path.

Right now Democrats are practically doing my work for me by proving me right, but I had to spend years being so-called "wrong" in peoples' eyes before I became "right"

My suggestion is to stick to your theoretical guns and be the Muad'Dib that can see the future (through correct analysis of material conditions), and then let that future come to pass. My second suggestion is to not let this or that loss get to you. We're going to lose again and again until we don't.

Let the liberal disillusionment flow :unlimited-power:
