Whoah whoah whoah, people actually wanted the change they were advocating for? I thought this whole thing was just ironic! I'm as left as they come, and as a cis white male, I'm confident in saying that our society is largely free of prejudice, sure there's bad apples, but there will always be bad apples, and changing the system will be even worse than keeping it as it is! So we should just stay the course and focus on incremental change, after all, if our ship is headed for an iceberg, the worst thing we could do is turn sharply away from it!

Please check your ego

very cringe post except for the bit about saying "comrade." nobody talks that way irl, it's such an obvious affectation. it's the leftist equivalent of saying "folks" instead of "people"
Death to America
On a scale from 1 to 10 how ironic is this post

Then it gives me inferiority/superiority complex vibes tbh.
Like no one can psychoanalyze a person over the internet but that's the impression I get from any kind of unironic "cringe" discourse, anything that looks down on people for sincerity or earnestness or buying-in or caring.
I'm not trying to attack you, you already admitted it was a you problem, and this mindset is widespread across social media, maybe caused by it. I felt it in myself back when I used reddit too much. Maybe a result of our identities being alienated and commodified, forcing people in the west to adopt an ironic, detached non-identity. Fear of the critical gaze of social media, internalized then projected outwards as a defense mechanism.
Idk, but it's not conducive to healthy interpersonal interaction nor organizing. Movements and revolutions require radical sincerity, no one's going to dedicate their life to anything based on nihilistic detachment. Historic revolutionary leaders weren't irony poisoned and neither are the global subaltern. The latter can't afford to be.
If that's not you I apologize, it's just a vibe I notice a lot on reddit and Twitter (and hexbear) and have started to see in real life. Maybe a continuation of the south park nihilism that hit a generation of white guys. But if so it may be worth examining and deconstructing.
Don't call me pal, comrade. 😁
If you’re just yelling at buildings, yeah no shit its cringe. Even I don’t have any optimism for anything, but the orgs in my city are disrupting events and sessions held by politicians and liberal organizations. If you’re smart and coordinated, you can manage to waste their whole event because they’re trying to kick people out and it destroys morale.
Whether it change anything, I don’t know, but the liberals continue to screech about it online and make 50 articles condemning the protests because it’ll hurt Biden’s feefees.
Enough with the civility nonsense. It’s obvious the US won’t change shit. Start thinking about how to make these bitches cry for supporting genocide. Make sure they’re always looking over their shoulders even if you’re sleeping in your bed 50 miles away. And I’m not even talking about doing anything violent. Wearing a keffiyah is often enough to make these fuckers sweat. You want action? Call those fuckers out in front of everyone, ignore their nonsense drivel rebuttal, and just keep letting everyone know that the Zionist supports genocide. They will break.
These days, the only things that put a smile on me are videos of settlers running, zionists abroad crying, and women complimenting me. Just because things won’t change for a long time doesn’t mean the enemy doesn’t deserve to develop mental illness for their complicity in and perpetuation of crimes against humanity. You don’t need hope to accomplish any of this. Just pure spite and hatred.
Yelling at a government building is kind of cringe ngl... but have you tried going to a bus stop or posting up outside a wal*mart and taking to people?
I think protests are more performance and not effective at doing anything, unless they're disruptive...

I hope this is a joke, otherwise you are just a lib and I'm sure you've never even organized friends for your own birthday party much less any movement or campaign ever worth the effort.
Nothing lost here.
