If you know it then why are you being a dick?

You know in most elections slightly less than half of the voters voted for the other candidate, right?

Didn’t things look worse when Nazi Germany was at its height? Didn’t things look worse when slavery was at its height?

The state of the world has been much worse before, and things still got better.

We have to acknowledge that a lot of people died, and a lot more were hurt, before things got better. And it may come to that in our times as well. But barring nuclear disaster, things can improve. And one prerequisite is not agreeing to lay down and die.

Like I said, I get it. Seems like anyone with any real power doesn’t recognize the severity of the situation. Seems like there’s no justice. Are you going to say “no point in trying”? I don’t think so because you wouldn’t be so mad about it if you didn’t care. I don’t have the answer. But believing change is possible is a crucial ingredient in change happening.

I get it, he’s doing all kinds of shit that’s illegal now. And I get it, people need to stand up to him.

Sometimes politicians, law enforcement and just rank & file workers need assurance and official blessing to not comply.

I don’t like how things are going at all, and want to be clear eyed about the situation. Still, lets not assume it’s all over, cause it’s not.

In the faq section it asks who the leadership is and they say they’re decentralized. It asks who they’re partnered with and says “if you’re interested in partnering reach out”. It asks what are your demands and essentially says “we’ll figure out specifics once we have more people onboard”.

This website presents itself as a movement, but I would guess is the work of one person or a handful of people, who don’t have experience in this area.

Which isn’t to say people have to have experience to get involved. And it isn’t to say we don’t have a bunch of valid reasons to be mad and ready to take action. Just that from a strategic standpoint, if you’re asking people to put their livelihoods at risk you need to be able to earn their trust, and you need a clear explanation of what benefit participants can expect to get.

When people get married they should come up with a completely new last name for them both.
