    Because commenting and sharing on social media feels like you’re doing something without having to actually do anything.

      I don’t know, I feel like writing online and telling the traitors to eat shit can be a therapeutic release that keeps you engaged and allows some emotional distance without full dissociation

      The worst thing you could do is check out and accept defeat. Or go to a protest without your face covered bc they’re using Clearview to track people

      Given the media is being silenced it’s one of the few tools of communication we have left that hasn’t been entirely hijacked by people screaming I <3 free speech and free markets while suppressing both bc they know that in reality they would never survive a press or market they couldn’t control and manipulate

      The state has a monopoly on violence and none of the people running the state have our best interests in mind or heart. They’ve sold out to money. From squares to strip malls.
