      Just stop believing that “you are a capitalist”, of course.
      The rest will come from inside your mind

      Organize, most obviously via unions and mutual aid networks. Lefties have a lot to say about how to fight back against capitalism; it’s just that nobody listens to them.

            And why don’t they now?

            Because the field changed.

            Imagine if you continued to fight with a sword because it worked once. It is different now, there are guns.

          They work for people who have the balls to fight for them.
          Clearly not you (or Americans as is comically obvious lately)

            America has had consistent violent and non violent protests from the 2000s on. I’ve gone.

            The fuck are you talking about? Most of you shit breaths come from the most corrupt countries in the world and say shit like this lmfao

          Uh… They did work, unless you think labor laws and standards are the same as they were in the late 19th century. Then the workers of America stopped organizing so obviously it stopped working.

            Interesting because I watched the American government in my time completely ignore every protest ever.

            Black and brown people are targeted more than ever, queer people are immensely unsafe currently, labor laws are sliding backwards with children dying in meat factories and guns are still killing kids.

            What did we accomplish exactly? Not much in over a century

              LOL
              Did the bad orange man not crumble due to relentless strolling in the streets with a sign?
              Remorseless interpretative dance or defiant acts of putting up stickers!?
              You don’t get change by asking nicely.
              But it’s clear you will fail.
              Never seen such weak, pacified and apathic pussies as Americans.

                Lmfao this has been the case for almost a century you dummy. Just cause you can’t keep track of history doesn’t mean everyone else does.

                How’d Occupy Wall Street go? Really far I bet.

                How about the countless marches for climate change, gun laws, LGBTQ rights, the classic woman’s march. Nothing.

                You wanna be a little shit and act like there isn’t enough violent protests in America? Go look up any video of any Black lives matter protests there’s numerous levels of violence people have had to endure and express.

                You’re clueless you sit on here and talk shit but know nothing. Dip your mouth in my ass the next time you wanna speak about something you have no clue about.

                Meanwhile what country are you from? Bet you guys are loving it up right now lmfao

                  Broski, how do you think gay people got rights?

                  How long ago did they march, gain acceptance widely… When did gay marriage become legal?

                  These things didnt happen that long ago, what do you mean ‘nothing’ came of these movements…

                  You simply miss perspective, surely?

                  In the last century, we got civil rights, women’s rights (to vote, to own a bank account, to divorce, to abort), gay rights and well…

                  You guys have started to lose some of those… But they happened within the last century, they were movements that were successful.

                  So clearly popular movements work and you need to readjust your expectations. These things are difficult and take time, you must win the hearts and minds before you can adjust the legislature.

                  Complying preemptively is how you lose everything and fascists win.

              When is the last time you went on strike for political reasons? Never? Well go change that and then complain. The people who did change things took on more personal risk than all acts of resistance Americans have done since Reagan combined. Look up the battle of blair mountain. Marches are, frankly, pussy shit that are only relevant if you want to meet people to organize for real resistance.

          It’s a good anawer but too vague. What he means is that you need to start discerning between the shit that they want you to believe that will make you rich for example work 3 jobs, invest in stocks, crypto. And start doing things that are really in you best interests like learn to cook linstead of buying always from takeover, learn a trade (I’m trying to learn to sew myself), get a good phone that last you years instead of a shit hyped one, install linux, stop chasing trends and fast fashion etc… Yeah it looks like that new type commie feminist hipster life but it’s happening for a reason is people trying to unplug the lifewire of predatory capitalism that drives you crazy and depressed.

          If the actions you’re engaging in result in a gain for the capital class, stop doin’ it. Stop enriching the capital class. Stahp it!

          A couple examples like: working for lower wages, allowing them to collect and share your data, engaging in needless consumerism, blah blah blah.

          The point is, they are few and they are united in their shared interests. It’s time we, as the many, do the same.

              If you’re looking for a revolution you’ll probably be disappointed friend. We’re more likely to see change in the world by interacting with our own community. Be there for our neighbors, even if it’s just to shoot the shit.

              Mutual aid and all that hippy shit is what’s unironically gonna change things. My take is just not to take it too seriously and just be a good person.
