Im all for fighting if you still have some. I hope I’m wrong and I’ll be there in the streets supporting your movement and glad for it if I am.
The narrative of power is that there isn’t a problem at all/there isn’t a problem caused by the current rigged market capitalist system that said system isn’t the best candidate to solve. And it’s defended by victims of it so far into the sunk cost fallacy of it they’ll fight to defend that false narrative. That’s where we’re at.
My “movement” is in minds, not streets. Like you said, there are so many defenders of a broken system. Change has to happen in the mind before it will happen in the world.
The more people see and hear “no hope” the more they accept it. The more accepted it is, the harder it will be to change, the harder we fall.
I’m not trying to change your mind… I understand your position. It makes emotional sense, and I can absolutely empathize with being out of “fight.” I just can’t logically rationalize acceptance of it all.

It still comes down to acceptance vs rejection, though, doesn’t it?
I know it’s not that simple and I probably come off as an idealist, but I can’t accept it.
I don’t know what the answers are yet, but rejecting their narrative is where it has to start.
