Hey, thank you for taking the time to say something. Yeah, no, I get it. I'm clinging to hope and meaning where I can find it because being boiling with rage but also having mostly slow moving solutions in front of me (boycotts, voting, working with mutual aid groups, supporting the union, shifting to worker or community owed businesses where I can, again voting in those cases, working on a community food forest with others, working with the community bike coop, help arm and train my community and yeah protests and awareness campaigns) has been maddening. None of these can go fast, the food forests is literally at the speed of trees and scrubs to grow. All while, kind of like you said, fucking fascist and old school corruption take root in the festering wound of apathy in our political environment.
Sometimes it's just perception too, things seem like they are just in constant friction they something just clicks and people seem to just get it and it starts happening fast. Hell it's been slow going for me to get past these things being a new thing for me to getting into the habit and just part of my day to day. I don't want to be patient though and to certain extent we both can't be and have to be. The genocides and ethic cleansing campaigns for example can't wait of the food forest, I am at this point harassing people I know about it, I am supporting strikes and boycotts with military I know about it, getting people out of that sector where I can, and hounding people on the up coming elections, doing the call campaigns, supporting the flotillas, etc. it's not enough it should be more but I'm at a lose myself there.
