Again, that’s what they hope for. You aren’t being noble, you are just noping out when it gets hard.
It’s more important than ever now, no matter what, make everything they try to do difficult.

If we defeat them and do nothing about the system that did this, I am fucking off forever.
Oh, agreed. But that means we have to fight harder when the system is working against us. To defeat them, we have to keep playing the game.
They're not saying "I don't care because nothing matters". They're saying "I don't care because everything they do will be meaningless when we get them the fuck out of there".

You vote every time, you show up every time. I’m not saying vote for anyone specifically, but don’t give up your power. It is not meaningless to fight these fuckers, and just waiting it out is the only guaranteed way they will win.
