Remember everyone, pessimism and cynicism are what the owners want from us.
Resistance to fatalism is resistance to the status quo, if you can’t keep the fire alive with genuine hope for the future anymore then at least keep it going with the spite every second you don’t give up inflicts on the status quo.
Yes, butand don’t allow your resistance to be selected and controlled by the owners. Be wary of people telling you the “right” and “wrong” ways to resist. Resistance takes myriad forms, some of them clean, some of them markedly less-so. Some of them legal, some not. Some of them safe, and others dangerous. If you find yourself policing others’ resistance, make sure you aren’t becoming a tool of the Owner Class to funnel resistance into less effective, more easily-ignored or countered methods.
Bro you just posted this caution against tone policing resistance to tone police a call to resistance.
Freedom never comes through surrender, and climate justice will never come through catering calls to resistance to people saying they’re tired and burnt out. We’re all tired and burnt out, shit’s still gotta get done.
So this is something I’ve recently realized that I’ve been experiencing. I still vote in my countries elections and stuff. But I’ve realized I’m starting to get fatalistic ideas. I feel like, in a sense, I’m losing hope for a better future. In my own personal life I can’t seem to get ahead financially.
I used to wonder why some people would just completely throw in the towel when it came to politics and I’m starting to maybe understand how they could get there. It scares me for my own well being as i feel like im maybe giving up on the idea of finding a better job/having better footing in my life. But yeah I’m at a loss at the moment.
I hope that things get better for everyone sooner rather than later

I was not talking about tone at all.
And literally nothing I said was an attack on what you said, I was adding to it.
edit: I have changed my first comment to make that clearer.
I’m about out of hope, but I have enough spite to last many lifetimes.
