Good, make it harder for people to get the medicine they need to survive, surely that wont radicalize a whole bunch of even more people into hating your fucking guts with the fury of 100 suns.
The problem is we’re all too tired and too used to the bullshit. People believe “gummit can’t do anything” so don’t believe that this shit works - like it works in every other OECD (“Developed”) country…
So just one more thing? It won’t be enough.
But that’s why we need the continued discussion online, and the protests that don’t appear to be accomplishing much of anything yet - we need that groundswell of energy to increase. It’s not increasing quickly, but it is slowly increasing.
For example, 5 years ago when I’d talk about how fascism was breaking our democracy, I got some support but mostly feedback. That’s changed. So the discussion online has at least made progress. That’s the type of thing necessary to get us to making change.
It sucks because it’s going to take a long time because the fascists have done a decent job with propaganda and education.
More and more of us need to be more and more fed up to get to the point where enough of us demand change and are willing to fight for it[1] - enough to overcome the exhaustion of living like this and the bombardment of bad news.
It’s not easy.
in any of the possible ways, from becoming representatives to perhaps actual fighting if we get to that point ↩︎
