FAQ
Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?
A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.
Whole lot of priveleged accelerationists ITT. Good thing most of them were probably never going to bother voting anyhow.
Honestly that’s probably me. But not what you think. In the process for long-term self sponsor visa to France rn. I made the decision in July 2022. Lived there a while to test it and now am in process to make perm. I’ll still vote absentee if possible.
I don’t really see any reason to be here anymore though. The experiment has failed and I no longer have any desire to try to protect it like generations of my family who moved here for equality of life and better economic opportunities. So, like them I’m moving, to a place that has the baseline of treating 52% of its population as humans and opportunities for my profession. There’s plenty wrong there too, but the way I look at it, might as well have good wine while watching everything burn.
Good luck in France! I’m still hoping we can turn things around, but I certainly won’t judge you for leaving.
