the speed at which the US is falling apart is astounding

complete subversion of the organs of government by corporate forces

the almost immediate erasure of anything trans-related

families being ripped apart, people being deported and dehumanized in general

it feels like a prelude to the violence

the tech freak fascists have the reins now

the thiels, musks, and yarvins of the world get to see their vision carried out in amerikkka

the world burns

    This is the time to organize comrade. Do not let doomerism get a hold of you. If you want to change the world, this is the opportunity to offer everyone around you an alternative. I am not talking about lecturing them to believe what you believe; but act in the way you want the rest of the world to act. Find an org and do something to counteract your pessimism. Action is the best way to combat the doom. Let tech freaks have the reins to a moribund and imploding government bureacracy. Help build dual power and, if you are tech savvy enough, support, or implement open source alternatives. Families are being ripped apart. Find ways to support them, through dealing with bureaucratic nonsense, translation, resource indexing, etc.

    Read Blood in My Eye by George Jackson the united states has been awash in violence for hundreds of years. The targets keep expanding, but we must avoid any pretense that this violence did not exist before, and is somehow new.
