been thinking a lot lately on what it takes to really sustain a movement. I think USAians expect protests, boycotts, and letters to be met with instant results, and when this doesn't happen, there's helplessness, burnout, and the movement is quietly dropped...
as we approach the year of the dragon, the hydra comes to mind.
over 30,000 innocent Palestinians are now gone, on our tax dollars, with no end in sight. now more people than ever realize that our representatives do not represent us, or care to. we are financing our own destruction, and we are running out of time.
so what does it really take to build a new world? who do we need? drawing on those who did it best (the global south truly has all the answers), these were my conclusions, but please tell me if you have any notes.
all I know is that our feelings of helplessness are by design. we cannot do it alone. it will not happen overnight. when one head tires, there must be two others to take it's place. happy early new year. we all have a role to play. which one are you?

"The 'left' is disabling itself and furthering the work of the genocidal state, for no good reason."
The same thing has happened to some Cop City protestors who got sick and not only can't protest anymore but lost their jobs because they are chronically and quite sick. As well as protestors/activists who participated in other events and orgs. No thanks to people not caring and doing nothing or little to, to protect others.
This lack of community and solidarity will bite everyone engaging in this destructive, harmful and bigoted nonsense in their asses. How can we fight back when so many are or will be dead or too ill?

Idea: 128 people wake up in a death game, slowly going though trials. In each two go in only one survives. It eventually boiled down to the last four, the last few trials were quite sloppy, the organizers didn't plan on it processing so quickly. They are all given a break in the arena while the last three events are set up. The four who sped through the game and defied all expectations are; a world renowned assassin on his only day off (pissed of he has to kill off hours), a deranged teen who likes to inflict pain on others (a massive contrarian who refuses to kill only because she is being made to), a psychopathic lawyer with a god complex (impatient, nitpicks and belittles the organizers), and a suicidal, neurotic wage slave with a death-wish who got this far by pure luck (he keeps trying to get others to kill him but his "plans" always fails). They are all pissed for their own reasons, not to mention hunger and sleep deprivation, so they put their "free" time to good use and start making a plan...
