AI is fine when it is your hands. Not when it is your brain. As long as you can vet it it can be useful for coding. Its the moment we give agency away to the AI that many see issues with it.

Hey man I’m not reading all that but thanks for playing

Organizing works necessitates being up to date with the latest political developments and with Trump that means you gotta have people on the pulse constantly. There’s an aspect of guarding your mental but not to the point of hindering your understanding of things.

All organizing must start local correct. There is no top down solution for this it must be bottom up by the power of the average person, the worker. But I disagree with this framing where you can’t care about people half a world away. Their struggle is our struggle. It is one in the same. And while maybe my direct actions can’t change things my actions sure as hell can help raise awareness or build a movement that can change things.

My dad loves to use that line to excuse him playing golf 6 days a week instead of doing anything to help people beyond some donations. I’m not saying he can’t golf but maybe one or two of those days could be spent doing organizing and activism work.

This line of thinking is more pablum to keep yourself docile and subservient to the powers that be. Emancipation from the oppression of capital is a global fight that requires us to always keep the international struggle in the back of our mind.

Liberals man. Y’all are gross with your inability to see outside of yourself and how your life can only materially improve by working with everyone around you to achieve that goal.

The half hearted commitment to progress as long as it’s convenient and doesn’t make you feel bad is literally why our country is in shambles.

You’re so lucky there are more people who disagree with your mindset than agree with it. All of our freedoms and liberties were won with blood in the streets not with whatever attitude this fucking is.

Revolution doesn’t just happen all at once. It takes intentional and strategic action over time. But revolution is the only way out of where we are now. Capitalism is a death cult. It’s an exterminationist ideology on a long enough time scale. Doing away with it completely is the only option.

What you suggest will only draw out the pain and suffering of humanity longer at the behest of the rich and powerful.

Hey little man I don’t know if you’re aware but the attitudes that I am yelling about that have led to the crumbling of the United States over the past several decades is literally happening in your backyard right now.

Y’all liberals will come around to how wrong just ignoring things is as a strategy to improve your life in a few years once all those social programs you have left are stripped away just like us.

The point is no change in society at the scales we needs happens with this attitude. All of our freedom is inextricably linked to one another - to ignore transgressions on someone else’s liberty is to ignore transgressions on your own.

What we need are people banding together in solidaristic movements not individually doing a little mutual aid here and there. Doing small good deeds is the permissible way people are allowed to change society which is to say in a way that never fundamentally threatens the power structures we live under.

“I’ve disengaged with the world around me and justified doing nothing to help make it better”.

Likely in reference to Zohran’s endorsement of Zionist Brad Landers in his attempt to primary Dan Goldman in NYC.

I understand your desire for change NOW but the unfortunate reality is we do not yet have the conditions for it. There’s plenty of room to criticize many of these figures on the left in the US for various things - I have plenty of smoke for them as well.

BUT while class consciousness remains nearly nonexistent in this country we must engage with the masses where they are at. We must be in the governmental structures that the masses are engaged in so we can be part of the conversation. We must run cadre candidates in elections EVEN WHEN THEY MIGHT LOSE (tactically though we only have so much capacity) so we can spread our message to more people. We must go to the trade unions and tenant unions so we are where the people closest to our movement are.

Left coms will call me a reformist for this take but it is simply a necessary evil we must contend with in the interim. Even once we take control of society we will still have to reckon with the capitalist structures we inherit. We will not be able to do away with it in one fell swoop it simply does not work this way. It will be a decidedly incremental path of dismantling them one by one so we can return power back to the working class citizen.

The primary goal MUST be a pragmatic takeover of the state by using and abusing the systems that exist today, doing what we can to expand the permissibility of our messaging until we no longer need these systems anymore. Organizing a true socialist movement that will not become subordinated to liberals (or hell even the rightist or far leftist socialist tendencies) or worse necessitates a more strategic and patient path towards global liberation and emancipation.

Ah nothing of substance to add got it

I’d love to hear one thing you think China is doing that is bad that the US is not also doing to a larger degree. Please enlighten me.
