I think it actively diffuses people’s political energy. Orgs like this weren’t effective back when they could organize strikes. Now there’s disunity between labor and activism, which are both riddled with opportunists, utter psychopaths if you’ve been in these movements Too much corruption, SSleazy informants everywhere ruining people’s lives in ways that are too odious to describe, deals with the ruling class aligning on foreign policy that eventually became their political goals. Now they’re just PR orgs that are financially dependent on a network beholden to the same entities as demokkkrats. In the alt media it is a bit more subtle but just as bad. Even when the messaging is good (it isn’t btw), they just tell you to sit around with your thumb in your ass about it.
