personal, activism
It immensely frustrates me that I *want* to get involved in effectively (locally) organizing against fascism, but I cannot do that on my own and almost everyone I talk to either:
1) Is completely politically apathetic and uninterested in doing literally any work to improve things to begin with,
2) Fails to pass even the most basic intersectionality test (usually in the form of holding differently-bigoted beliefs and absolutely refusing to introspect on them),
3) Is completely uninterested in any kind of creative strategizing, insistently sticking to the same three strategies that haven't worked for decades and that just burn out participants, or
4) Just outright doesn't have the energy/spoons to be actively involved, usually due to disability (which I obviously don't blame them for, but from a practical perspective it doesn't help to get things moving).
Like, it shouldn't be this difficult to find even a few people who are genuinely interested in making things happen, and have the energy to do so to at least some degree?
