re: #243 klys (maker of Silmarils)
I’m pretty sure there have been points in history before where the reactionaries have gained the upper hand for a bit. It’s only permanent if we fucking give up and cede the field to them.
There are people out there right now who are taking this as a call to action and planning the next step. I find spending time around them and supporting them to be much better for my mental well-being as I dig in to fight too.
You can choose your community to be one that supports you as we fight back. It’s something I strongly, strongly recommend.
You’re right of course. There were much more reactionary times in history. We’re just in the immediate reaction phase to seeing critical parts of our society temporarily collapse.
