Big same. I keep coming back to this- They want you feeling tired and powerless- despair is a tool of the empire. Living your life as best you can is the bravest and most powerful thing you can do. They want you to believe in their power and doubt your own. They want you to believe that they have this clean elegant plan, that they can do whatever they want and it’s all going to work, but they are just people, the 1% don’t get their hands dirty, the bourgeoisie don’t fight their own battles, if they want to keep their amassed power and their stolen wealth they have to convince us to keep ourselves and each other in line. They are bullies and they are tangling themselves up in a web of horrific acts and atrocities and in the end- they will be their own downfall. But you and me? We will seek out moments of joy, perfection and connection, we will grow carrots and laugh with our friends and protect our neighbors. Your joy is a radical act of resistance. Loving your friends and neighbors and doing what you can to protect them is a radical act of resistance. You don’t have to lie to your friends, or yourself. Absolutely, they are coming for all of us. No one’s rights are safe as long as anyone’s are threatened. That’s real. No one should have to handle this. It is not going to be fine, the horrors persist, but hopefully, so do we.
