One takeaway I learned is that it is *vital* that we have strong community
*bonds*. Not just a healthy community where you can walk outside and see
friendly faces, but you have to *know* people.
Whether that's achieved through some kind of revolutionary vanguard party or
whatever, or just... being together and learning and growing to sing one
lifetime of song, either way *we need each other*.

on our current trajectory, the presidential election is already won.
now we can get back to on-the-ground organizing, the part that actually
improves life instead of maintaining our current (unethical) state.
As long as our allies (liberals) continue to work, perhaps there may come a
day when we can stand against them as friendly equals in the ballot box. But
for now we are best known through friends and community rather than TV.
I am optimistic in a way I haven't been for a while. I know that the more we
speak, the more we share, the more they falter, the more people we can save
from their vice grip of despair. There is no better world than the one we
build together!

The media tells you what it needs to in order to confuse you and hinder your
movements, for the media is an arm of capital and capital wants you working

The best thing you could be doing is fighting capitalism. All things of peril

You need to trust both the government and corporations equally. It's best to
work together so you can actually accomplish something. Instead we're just
cast at each other like weapons or banelings. Corporations primarily through
social media indoctrination and media, and governments through
anti-corporation bullshit - the anti-work hysteria is is stoked while the
government stokes the flames of racism and mysogyny. The people through riots
and civil disobedience. Also the cops and military and all the other
institutions are all like that too, but with differing cultural memes and
methods.
