re: #336 Citizen K

The problem I feel like is being awake doesn’t amount to much when there’s no power left to be leveraged. All the noise and bluster we can make doesn’t amount to much when they can ignore it anyways, sweep away our rights and dignities with a sweep of their hand, and there’s jack all left we can do because the only other option would probably have us shot dead in the streets as an ‘example’.

There’s just so much institutionally enabling this shitshow right now and I feel like we’re helpless to do anything now, no matter how ‘awake’ we are.

But the institutions are resisting. Look at how quickly the courts ended Trump’s muslim ban. I wouldn’t be surprised if his next ban gets stopped just as quickly, whenever Trump gets around to issuing it.
