Is anyone else sick of living in a reality which is nothing but all the dystopian fiction from 50 years ago?
We have #JamesBond villains ( #Musk )
We have #InvasionoftheBodySnatchers zombification ( #MAGA )
Etc, etc.
And now we have #Wargames:
"#AI s can’t stop recommending #nuclear strikes in #war game #simulations
Leading AIs from #OpenAI, #Anthropic and #Google opted to use #nuclearweapons in simulated war games in 95 per cent of cases"
I do regularly say "I don't want to live in this world any more".
Between utter failure to make progress on stopping global warming, to the rich pushing fascism on the rest of us, so they can avoid the consequences of global warming, it feels like everything is going to keep getting worse for hundreds of years.
my attitude is to go down fighting
if you're surrounded by 20 goons, you can feel hopeless
or you can go out swinging with a stupid grin on your face
that's my approach
"rage rage against the dying of the light" and all that
anyone who just curls up in a ball and accepts defeat?
this is not the real left
all there is, and ever was, in this world, is the good fight
you fight, you may lose
you may also win
if you give up you will lose
there are no better terms in this world
@benroyce @alienghic My spirit animal is a raccoon holding a switchblade saying “maybe, but I’m taking you with me.”
😂
it's true though
i can't stand fucking whiners "on the left" talking defeatism. or so fucking stupid they don't understand that that is what not voting is
even if they are invested in some other attempt to defeat #fascism
that other track will have tactical thinkers going "oh, but also #vote, that's good vandalism/ sabotage"
all these fucking whiny entitled lazy assholes "on the left" are nothing but willingly and meekly submitting to fascism if THEY DON'T FUCKING VOTE
Voting is fundamental to this fight.
The reason the fascists are in power is because so many people have walked away and didn't think their votes mattered. 1/3 of Americans didn't bother to vote in the last election.
Well guess what? Those votes do matter and they matter more now than ever. If you don't think politiicians represent you or work for you, REPLACE them with people who will. You do that by voting, by paying attention and most importantly holding people accountable. Maybe you won't get all your favourite candidates, but you may get a few and those few matter when you are building a movement.
They WANT you to give up. They WANT you to feel powerless. Why give them the satisfaction?
THANK YOU
we on the left need to reject weak whiny voices (are they cosplaying troll #psyop?)
giving #fascism what it wants: "#elections don't matter anymore, waah"- this helping fascism win as much as #MAGA
#prematureCapitulation is for FUCKING LOSERS. literally losers: they lose!
who the fuck wants to live like that?
FIGHT
especially the #primaries
get real left #candidates
if you don't show up in the primaries SHUT THE FUCK UP: YOU DON'T REALLY CARE
