main reason I haven't told the trans people I know is that each of them would get banned rather quickly from what I have seen of their politics

Yeah I don't go throwing it around too much because most people aren't ready for pro-china stuff let alone respect or even tolerance of DPRK. One person I know also was into r/cth and chapo/chapo adjacent people on twitter, so they know about it but don't come here, never have.

Many people don't really have strong enough political opinions to push back, and would maybe be comrades if they learned, but they are simply too depressed or overwhelmed by the state of things (even though they aren't tuned in enough to know the half of it), and refuse to dig deeper because of it. They fundamentally don't want to know and so while I can't help but share some news I try not to be too depressing.

That's basically the two types of friends I have: the "I don't have time/energy/spoons to think about all that, let alone organize" type, and the "yeah I'm totally with you, capitalism sux, when can we go protest?" type (who rarely protests and never organizes further). Not that I'm that much better. I'm better read, but only because nobody reads anything anymore, and I help orgs and protests more materially, but I'm still not like, deeply involved with any of them. Honestly some seem distrusting of me, and I don't blame them ig. I got accused of being an undercover cop/informant on the street recently so I must have the look.

If I find something I can really sink my teeth into I'll probably drag as many sympathetic friends along as I can and hopefully get some comrades along the way, but so far its just spotty mutual aid work with some very loosely "organized" local groups
