    Voting seems to be doing fuck-all if I’m being perfectly honest. We need to stop coasting to a stop and slam on the brakes.

      Voting without being politically active does do fuck all. But not voting ensures that the people you really don’t want to win can do so without any pushback.

        Voting costs you nothing and you should do it, even if it feels like a waste of time. However, going to BLM in 2020 made me realize how pointless being “politically active” is. Nothing will change for the better in the US unless people arm themselves and strike fear into the state itself.

          It sounds really grim, but if politicians feared they’d be shot for their greed, maybe we’d have a more fair society.

            Definitely. Society is fucked right now because people are brought up to believe that peaceful protest is some sort of societal panacea.
