#like the endless amount of cynicism i see on here particularly amongst american leftists just very much reads to me #as a combination of moral ocd and identity politics / optics #where if you're sad/angry enough it excuses you from participating in the real world #instead of like. funneling a real desire to see positive change into channels of action #anyways. aoc and rashida talib the only bitches out here i respect #i am never going to be a person who responds to like. paragraphs about how electoral politics are evil or america is evil like yeah. true. #but i live here. people i love live here. strangers i love live here. so now what do i do that is Real outside of the whining chamber #optimism = stupid / fatalism = intellect is like. LOLOLOL #we all have to chose to believe that we can create a world that is livable
