I’ve been very involved, without saying where I am or what I’ve done for the same obvious reasons, but I genuinely don’t think it’s enough.
The amount of resistance people are broadly mounting in some states at this point amount to “expected opposition” for the enemy.
We need a lot more people to actually care and we need to understand that our perspective is skewed by algorithms and for every satisfying video we see of a town-hall where the GOP politician is getting booed, we have a thousand clips showing the opposite for the right. For every “we got him!” story that emerges on our feed, the median voter gets a hundred stories about how STRONGMAN TRUMP DEFEATS THE BROWN BADDIES AGAIN headlines and they glance at the AI pic of him carrying an American flag and even if they don’t care for him, the constant deluge of imagery and propaganda works amazingly well over large scales.
This is how they shifted our population against empathy and community and then they cashed their chips in to finally crush democracy because not enough people pushed back in meaningful ways. We abandoned socializing and community because giant corporations shoved comforts into every home and made people feel validated for sitting on their ass scrolling.
I am more than discouraged, I am likely going to head to the hills and take care of myself and my own until thugs come to kill us someday for not being part of the Palantir Groknet Ideology Web.
