As an old leftist who has become disillusioned, i wish the young generation would stop wasting time like we did and skip the protesting bit and go to guillotines. I feel like every new generation discovers the same injustices and jumps the same hoops, then they get jobs and homes and kids and that ends, new generation comes, repeat. We never actually make it past protests before we become unable to do anything more
Maybe it would be more helpful if the old leftists who wasted too much time protesting started putting their lives on the line instead of insisting their children should do it for them.
So many people are so convinced that other people should commit suicide by cop and not them.
Oh I’m ready, but then you get shit on for not being a nice little peaceful protestor
RIP Willem Van Spronsen
Well we don't get a home, jobs are being replaced with AI, and no one can afford children. So we can avoid those roadblocks lol
People can't even stop using reddit or twitter, I don't think they can even comprehend a fight for their freedom.
The billionaire class has made it so that you can't be an activist and live a normal life. If you're struggling to feed yourself and your kids working two full time jobs, when are you going to find time to protest? And are you willing to do so at the expense of your kids going hungry? Most people are not, I think.
Nobody is going to live a normal life anymore if things continue.
Yes, its time for a bit more than protests. We need to start relying on Jury Nullification
Jury nullification only helps if you get an actual jury.
