Unfortunately I think far too many people are willing to just lay down and die in the face of climate-based social collapse. We gotta drop out of society and start anew elsewhere, it’s too late to wind hearts and minds OR to really develop a militant left :/
I get miserable at the thought of how apathetic everyone is but I'm very sure once people see how destructive the system we live under is as societal collapse starts to happen due to climate change people will get radicalized. And many people already have been getting radicalized because 9 months since October 7th the uptick in Israel's barbarism has opened people's eyes and is causing a major shift in opinion of the United States.
My problem is it's genuinely such a shame this did not happen sooner. That BLM protests in 2020 should have had this effect and we should've mobilized sooner. But that would mean people would have to empathise with, and genuinely include Black people in their activism, which of course means interrogating their own antiblackness. Even now genocides in Africa get ignored because protestors hell bent on looking peaceful think they can do "one step at a time" with genocide and people's lives. Idk sorry I got derailed I still have some tiny sliver of hope that at least younger people will see and understand the only way to deal with the capitalist ruling class. But at the same time there are way too many issues people have to address in themselves and that means being open to criticism for their movements.
#a person on twitter said people are so focused on peaceful protests because#they don't want to do what Black people do#i.e. they don't want to look like Black people#I'm saying nobody here is going to do anything that results in change if you don't hold space for multiple issues#and in that way we can truly mobilize and take charge for effective actjon#and once again ppl are so reactionary to any criticism#when someone pointed out how people should provide for the unhoused with the tents used for the student encampments it was called#bad faith criticism#we're not gonna get anywhere like this seriously#i personally have made peace with the fact that i will not see the complete dismantling of these systems in my lifetime#but i still have some hope for human resistance which has persisted throughout history#idk i don't know if i made any specific points here i feel like my answer is all over the place#but yeah#yanswered#myratxt
