I am on the precipice of one and don’t want that to turn me into a disengaged normies, lib, or chud. I know that a local DSA chapter was financially backed by a person of incredible means, so I wonder what keeps such people left wing or at least SocDem.
I don’t think that’s true, unfortunately. A lot of people will acknowledge all sorts of injustices, but then they get to this choice:
- Try to do something about it, despite no clear path, a ton of failed attempts before you, and the knowledge that any serious effort will require sacrificing time and money, or maybe even more. Or,
- Fire up that grill, baby, and try to enjoy what you can in life.
And choose Option 2.
Sure but unless you’re a soulless freak like buttigieg you still see it, and when people fight against it, you provide support or at the very least shut up and get out of the way. You’re not gonna be out there voting for Biden or whatever.
Also you can provide material support to folks which imo is one of the best forms of praxis there is.
