tempting fate by saying shit like “the revolution may not happen in my lifetime, my work lies in making sure we’re as ready as can be”

Yeah best response. I do not like this meme bc it is very much supposing action doesnt matter or we have already lost and can just die. If it just expresses frustration, i dont feel it. Like come on, some of us are pretty fuckin priviledged and with a lot of priviledge some action absolutely matters. If you wanna see how waiting foe the conditions to become worse and being a passive doomer feed on one another, look at history or even like Lebanon right now. There is no reliable electricity, safe food, no gas, water is toxic, formerly well off people live on 100$ (with prices for food being lower but not by much) or less and some time in living memory this country was like a poster child for development and still people didnt do much more (as a whole) than throwing stones at best and having silly protest parties at worst. So bad conditions dont change shit if there is no one to channel that anger in a direction. AND OBVIOUSLY JUST GIVING UP MEANS THE OTHER SIDE FUCKING WINS FFS ARGH If you are absolutely convinced that you are actually unable to do anything and that it is not just learned helplessness talking, I get it. That rant is not adressed at you.

I also don’t like the og quote bc it was pretty chauvinist in its historical context. Like not worth denouncing Rosa over but very poorly worded and analyticaly weak so maybe I am too fast to sort the meme as a bad take

Saying this as if we are not having ““barbarism”” right now

It’s always been barbarism but at every moment in history there have been chances and victories. A better world is always possible and every change we can make improves the odds of it being created.

yeah a lot of people don’t realize how close some of our failures were to being victories, if certain things had just happened slightly differently.

not to mention things are constantly in flux, it’s not an either/or succeed/fail dynamic.
