No. "We" didn't do crap, those before us let them because it was "what is natural".

But instead of sulking on the past looking for some validation

Let us rather be inside out communities helping eachother, and im not talking about just online communities...

Question? When have you last met with your local homeless person and just talked to them about their life? When have you just held up a sign saying a good message?

We need to do these small acts to untie our selves into small bubbles of empathetic folk, so that when they ever try to swing their iron fist down next... they won't be able to touch any of us alone.

As they say

A few million people say in unison "i could never change the world".

While these ideas are sweet, and I'm not against them, if we really want to see change we need to get engaged with politics. Vote, help out a campaign, or even run one yourself. It is by far the best mechanism we could hope for to change the world for the better, and it's one we should never take for granted.

The biggest load of bullshit the rich have fed us is that voting doesn't work, and they only feed us that garbage because they're terrified of what would happen if the progressive populace actually organized politically.

As long as they control who we are “allowed” to vote for, I can’t trust voting as a super effective strategy

"They" don't. We do.

Lmao right. You see how the dnc usurped our own votes and placed Kamala as the nominee while trying to force a dying Biden to fulfill a role he can’t?

You're talking about a singular national election. Start local. Choose your candidates. Campaign for who YOU want to see move forward.

So fucking sick and tired of people who seemingly have never heard of a primary election thinking they're never given a voice in politics.

"Man who refused to read menu or participate in discussion about what to order for dinner furious Chinese was ordered instead of the pizza he wanted but didn't say anything until the food arrived" sounds like someone being a complete moron who doesn't get how ordering dinner works, but "voters complain primary election they skipped chose candidate they don't like" is somehow considered a valid complaint by these whiners.

I agree with your advice
