I lost my canvasing job because I could not convince people directly complicit in genocide living extremely wealthy lives to donate $20 a month to feed the children their government is bombing.

I want to give up. I am about to run out of rent and bill money, all my savings and meager inheritance from my dead grandmother is gone. I gave almost all of it away, then I lost my job.

I don't know what to do now, my mind wanders to adventurism.

I don't know what to say other than you're one of my favorite people here, please value yourself and don't resort to adventurism. Hopefully you're just joking about that part.

Even if you don't think what you do has any impact, don't believe that. It does, it's literally impossible for you to not have an impact. You matter, you're here, and you are valuable.

You've been working hard and you're burnt out. Take a step back, find another job, recover your strength. Praxis will be there for you if and when you are ready and able. Remember that the mutual aid comm is here if you need it.
