I’ve looked into getting involved locally. Unfortunately, the game is stacked against anyone with an unconventional work schedule, who works long shifts, who is non-white, queer, or disabled, who is a non-English speaker…
It’s set up so the majority of people who wield the power and influence are fairly affluent, privileged groups. This is by design.
If you ask any revolutionary movement what led to their success, they’ll tell you “if the deck is stacked against you, give up.”
That perfect equal society gonna fall from the sky any day now
(I’m sorta just talking shit, tbh. I’m not doing anything about the problem either. But I do think the central point is fair that of course the deck is stacked; that’s why work to change it is important. Every single movement to correct the wrong people being in power has by definition had to start with the deck stacked against it.)
Well this is kinda my point. The system itself is designed this way, so meaningful change will never be possible by following the system.
We need to dismantle it.
Unfortunately, the people who benefit and are protected by the system will allow others to suffer and die for their perceived benefit. That’s how we end up with weird demographics like queer conservatives or self-proclaimed “leftists” who campaign for a turpitudinous genocidaire.
