It doesn't affect the onward progression of capitalism, it doesn't stop the racists from controlling the government, doesn't stop the cops from murdering black people, doesn't stop the erasure of LGBTQIA lives, doesn't do anything. The pragmatic options are to first stabilize your own situation, and then organize popular resistance and do direct actions if you have the bandwidth. permalink fedilink source parent [–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 7 months ago It's amazing they're only upset about insults after starting off with them permalink fedilink source parent
