    Organize. Sabotage. General strike. Protest. Political action isn’t one day every four years.

      Yup. Robert Reich posted something that ended with “Take a moment to breathe, then let the resistance begin.”

      And like, buddy, I’m sorry to say, if your resistance is only just beginning, then you are resisting the wrong thing and you will be ineffective. You should be fighting the entire empire, not just the unmasked pieces of it.

      The election is your chance to ask for your preferred enemy, but if you don’t get it, your job doesn’t change.

      I wonder how many fellow lefties work for Xitler’s empire who are planning sabotage ops. As long as the payload wasn’t humans, watching a SpaceX rocket spectacularly fail would put a smile on my face, knowing that silent resistance is in motion

      Turn that bolt just a few degrees to the wrong direction

      Syntax errors? WOMM

      LFG, burn this mother fuckers scam empire to the ground

      We’ll make it to Mars on our terms, once we have a home to return to

        I had a chance to buy a Tesla. Chose not to. Chose a Volvo instead. All heroes don’t wear capes.

        Hmm. I should buy a cape. Hey Google, remind me to buy a cape.

      A general strike? Protests? Before this election I would have agreed with you. Now… half or more of the workers you’d need to pull that off voted for Trump.

      A general strike right now would basically just be leftists self-blacklisting themselves and doing the fascists work for them.

      If there’s anything this election has shown, it’s that there’s no unity on the left. Who are we organizing with since it’s clear that the cultists are a lost cause and the left can’t be relied on to show up when it matters most?

      The problem is you need violent insurrection against the system not a group of race. But the system is in control of communications and knows everything we’re saying, so there’s nothing you can do but protest, which does literally nothing
