    These assholes have already won. If somehow they find their way back into the hell hole they came out of, it won’t be in my lifetime.

    I’m not a very hateful, or vengeful person. I can’t think of a single grudge that I hold against any particular person I’ve encountered. But for Republicans, I wish them the worst and will enjoy watching every pineapple karma is inclined to shove up their asses. In fact, I’ve resided myself just now to find a way to celebrate every small victory against these fuckers and will live a happier life for it.

      your depictive vitriol makes me want to believe in an afterlife, just for the sake of vengeance

        That’s not why they’ve won. They’ve won because they have corrupted any semblance of democratic rule this country has and are actively looking to regress into an autocracy while freely stripping our rights away. They’ve won because they have no morals or principals to speak of but rather than scattering to the wind they double down on their hate filled platform. They’ve won because no matter how; if they succeed in their goal of making us all worse off there is nothing I can do, personally, in the short time I have here, that will put an end to it.

        They pretend we live in a world where the forces of good fight the forces of evil and in doing so become the opposing force that demands a counter. I don’t have to call them evil I just have to point at their idol; false prophet; belligerent old man; trump. It’s plain to see who it is that is contributing to the negative power structure in this country. While no party is guilt free; someone has to stand up to them. By constantly having to fend off their assault we’ve lost our freedom to live in peace not worrying about if tomorrow we will be more poor; more subjugted; more divided; more uncared for.

        Who could look at this and not be hateful? If being despicable enough to be hated is a victory, please, lets open all the doors to the prisons and enjoy a win.

          The person you’re replying to claiming that, for bigots to have won, the true litmus test is if society hates bigots. How entertaining.

          My message to you is keep fighting. You can learn angrily, you can teach angrily, you can be braver.

          There’s plenty to learn and teach about. Wherever you are there are surely folks in need and folks organizing, and the darker things get the brighter our resistance grows.

          Take up with, and get involved with literally ANY human rights advocacy. No, you wont change the world all on your own – but hyperindividualism is something to unlearn (angrily) all on it’s own!

          What you’re almost certain to do, supposing that you go in with the strength to admit when you’re wrong, will be to build connections with kindred spirits.

          So here’s just a few inspiring causes, for which i both encourage online learning about, but topics for which you never have the true picture until youre involved locally with folks who are already saying, for their humanity “Nothing about us, without us”

          Drug War Survivors: https://www.crackdownpod.com/

          Landback: https://www.indigenousaction.org/

          Marooncast: Black and Queer anarchism, ending police (and their) brutality and creating real autonomy for communities of color https://marooncast.buzzsprout.com/

          Healthcare: https://www.beatriceadlerbolton.com/ (Has a link to the book and podcast. Other collaborators, and the greater community formed around these, deserve equal attention and credit)

          These are a small fraction of what’s out there. If you’re able bodied and inclined to do so, go link arms in an eviction defense; Stonelink Realty is buying out folks apartments from under them everywhere, and there’s no justice, or even any sense, in police throwing someone working two jobs out on the street, just because sillicon valley types are moving into the area.

          Be pissed. That is an appropriate emotional response. Know that for many of us, especially those whose intrinsic traits cannot br safely hidden (melanin, queerness, medical or economic condition, …) that retreat or surrender are not possible.

          Since youre still reading: There exist so many anonymous, unofficial rescue workers, engaged offline providing the resources made scarce or forbidden to those forgotten or sacrificed by society. Knowing of them casts a bit of light. Getting closer to that light? Well maybe your experience of community begins to feel a bit less cold. ✨️

        Watching your tormentors get tortured and you still think the game is about winning and losing.
