This is one obstacle to left organizing in the States I think gets ignored. Americans have no sense of community, because Americans hate each other. Including the leftist ones. You see it here, we call Amerikkkans Burgerbrained hogs, but now you want me to organize these hogs? I fucking hate them, and they hate me. My ultimate goal is to fuck off to a cabin in the woods away from these pathetic creeps, and you want me to put my life on the line trying to give them help they largely don't want?

The list is just the entire US population, including myself. Please send me to the mines, I don't want to write poetry!

There's really no orgs with the resources to do anything in the US. In most cities the left can barely pull off a crappy soup kitchen.

I mean yeah we should try and do something, but I'm not going to lie to people about their prospects. And honestly it may be better for peoples mental health to accept defeat than struggle on in futility, at least then you can matt-grillin

No offense DirtyOwl but you're an Aussie. Idk what it's like in Australia, but on the ground here things are pretty dismal. All the Libs are scratched, the DNC already seems to be formulating a right wing shift, there's no leftist infrastructure to take advantage of.

I've lived through like 4 moments in history that should have been a wake up call to Libs, they never work. There no working class party in the US because there no demand for one, even in marginalized communities. And it's not just propaganda, it's the will of the people, American hogs love being atomized, narcissistic, individualistic consumers and will lash out at anything that threatens that.

There's a Greek place near me that technically has dine in but everyone just gets take out.

I'm probably gonna get that tomorrow night now.

They're default libs because it's in their material interest. That's not going to change, at least not for a little bit.

Most of those people are still Libs, they're just lazy Libs

Sorry, not sorry Elon.

 

Even if everyone in your group is trying to put the effort in and not a flake, arranging meetings in our modern world is a pain in the fucking ass, especially if you all have day jobs.

But if on top of that you do have one or several people in the group who are flaky, or lazy, or just suck at doing research you're put in this shitty situation where you either have to nag their ass to work, or just do their work for them. Which then leads to you being tempted to act like a cop and NARC on them to the prof in order to protect your own grade.

The only time I've enjoyed group projects is when the prof set aside in class time to work on it, otherwise it's a shit show, I'll take writing a paper myself over this shit any day.

 

Re-Screen it constantly. Have everyone dress up and yell shit and throw things at the screen.

 

It was a couple dressed as Mulder and Scully and their kid was a little green alien 👽

That's too cute 🥰
