loved ones say you’re both straightforward and challenging corruption and broken gov

“uhhh yeah like, my aunt told me you were legit so like, I’m with you sis, ride or die”

I hear shit like this from people IRL all the time. The fact that an enormous sum of people make decisions that (they believe) are critically important because they heard one thing from a person they know or from the TV is what confirms for me that humanity deserves its impending demise.

There are tons of people like this, politically checked out. Probably making voting decisions based on one sound bite from one side or the other that they heard like 6 years ago, or if a certain candidate’s photo in the voter guide is flattering or not. I know someone who said recently, and I quote, “I should probably vote this time, one of my friends said it’s a woman running now”. Like, totally clueless. Being terminally political brained isn’t the norm, and I don’t think we should expect it from the average person, either.

And to be clear that isn’t their fault. Blaming the common low information voter for the conditions that make them politically apathetic is fucking stupid, when that is the entire point of how things are under capitalism. Most people are just trying to survive and doing the best they can. I think it’s important to nudge people in the right direction when appropriate and enable people to find answers more easily if they are searching. But most of all it’s important to just support our communities and show people kindness and understanding. Remember, revolutionary conditions aren’t predicated on every single person in the population understanding economic and political theory.

let’s men have a voice
