    Ah yes I see absolutely no difference between these two puppets. I have seen absolutely no difference between the leadership and policies of these two organizations. None whatsoever.

    I will instead do the third thing depicted in the meme that takes literally 10m out of two Tuesdays a year and is actually effective.

    Taking care of one’s mental health is good, as is encouraging it in others. Would never want to be in a community that didn’t care about people.

    But also, can we develop communities that build resilience rather than neuroticism? That attract the well? That facilitate change in the world and human thriving rather than…you know, the shit we often actually see.

    We’re still in the comments under the meme where Dr robotnik, played by Jim Carrey and labeled as “Liberal”, gets to push either the “Revolution” button or the “Vote” button, and villainously chooses the latter. I did not decide that this is a binary choice, I simply agreed with the villain in the picture.

    The idea that I should trust “people in my own class” categorically is insane, but that’s not even who I’m talking about. I’m just talking about the kinds of people I’ve met who think of voting and revolution in this binary way, who condemn anything short of insurrection. I’ve seen how these people live, and the most apt description is usually “barely”. Too neurotic, too online, too personally disorganized to actually change the world. Never met an IRL Lenin, Ho Chi Minh, or Sankara.

    So imma let them work on that. Meanwhile, given the world as it is, between “Do revolution” and “Vote” I’ll vote every time.
