there's not always going to be an option to make things immediately better, but there will always be options to stop things from immediately getting much much worse, and you will always owe it to people less fortunate than you to keep things from getting worse, no exceptions

#doing nothing is never going to be an effective protest because you are not making it clear to the people in charge what you are protesting #or that you're protesting at all #if you have time to post about how you're not voting you have time to be making your elected officials' lives worse until they do something #ive accepted that im not gonna convince people to vote if they really dont want to #but if you're not voting AND you're not calling/protesting/blocking weapons shipments/etc #then you need to accept that you dont care about making things better #you care about being seen hoping things get better without having to inconvenience yourself at all #i am. SO fucking tired of people who are not doing anything acting morally superior about it #why are you not killing politicians yourself if you really think thats the only way things are going to change you fucking cowards #i swear to god trying to get people on this stupid fucking website to get off their asses and DO SOMETHING #feels the exact same as trying to get my reps to get off their asses and do something except honestly i think ive had more luck with my rep #like even just in terms of reblogging #WAY fewer people reblogged any posts from me that had info about where the ports were being blocked #than people who reblogged any 'here is another terrible thing that happened in gaza today' post #i cant bother every single person on this website into taking action #but i only have a few elected officials and it is very very easy to be extremely annoying to a small group of people
