Ah, but who can forget the famous "We're all fucked, a bloo a bloo bloo bloo" speech by the great MLK?

The Your Hopes Are Too Damn High party

It’s like they’re attempting to predict the future that hasn’t happened yet and may never come to fruition.

"Your movement broadcasting cringe helps build broad support in society" is one of the most batshit takes on organizing I've ever seen. The fact that people like you believe it however explains a lot, and in general the utter failure of the left in recent years.

Then by all means go ahead and "build" 4 more years of MAGA.

How does sprezzatura figure into this paradigm?

Does it also polish the vase

That attack on Dolorous Edd was uncalled for.

I know. I'm just frustrated that we're at where we're at waiting for a moment that might come too late.

My husband's family (2 adults and 4 children) survived the Holocaust because a member of the Dutch resistance found hiding places for all of them. She broke the law and risked her life. She is honored at Yad Vashem along with many other righteous gentiles. Would you do the same?

Collective grief goes through stages of despair though.

fuck yeah and exactly. you can be a pessimist (i kind of am), but don't invite people into that shit. darkness doesn't need company... it already has enough. "even if i'm the last one standing" is the attitude.

eye rolling so hard I’m going to sprain something at that particular take

You're right, these specific details of these specific historical events completely invalidate the concept of "optimism is important to resistance" as applied to a modern day protest.

The worst is seeing my entire feed just flip over to variations on "we are so cooked," like a domino line.

I know you're writing about the current opposition to fascism, but this *also* sounds like certain vegans I could name.

Be like Han, not like 3PO

Preemptive capitulation demonstrates a fragile spirit

Seriously, shut the fuck up

Pick something to do that seems useful. --> Is it helping? ----> Yes! --> Keep doing it and ask others to join you! ----> No. --> Bummer. Pick something else and try again. Maybe ask your friends and other people you respect what they're doing and join them? Repeat as needed.
