every decade, the world will probably have fewer and fewer assholes in it, and they're guaranteed to lose in the long run.
i really believe that there will come a point where people won't have to fight for their rights, their lives, or over pathetic ideas about national supremacy.
that's nice to think about, but unfortunately: i live now, rather than in any utopian future. i have to accept my life will be worse than those of many generations to come.
even if it's only a matter of time until the world runs out of fascists, we have to focus on what we can do to provide immediate relief for all who need it.
with factors such as finances, location, privileges, and the unfair scrutiny that the media puts on marginalised people, some of us are much more free to exert change than others.
everyone has to assess their place in this and that can be hard sometimes. i think that what it comes down to a lot of the time is simply:
if you feel comfortable and safe while others do not then you need to be taking action. preferably, you'll know when you're doing 'enough' by whether or not you still
feel as comfortable and safe after doing it. we have to be challenging ourselves and willing to take risks.
right now, everyone needs to be standing up for the things that matter. people need to fight against corporations turning them into data points and stripping away their privacy or access to information,
for a right to health including abortion rights and trans healthcare, for the freedom to organize, protest, and rebel, and against all forms of imperialism and tyranny.
it goes without saying then that is of vital importance that what is happening in gaza is recognised as a genocide and that we see an end to israeli settler-colonialism as soon as possible.
every one of their allies in europe and the americas shares equal blame for their actions and all need to be toppled.
resistance to tyrants is loyalty to human life, and whatever you can manage to do will be woven into the tapestry of the future.
