    Grassroots community action and mutual aid.

    That’s what I mean with opposition outside the parliament.

      Well that is the end goal, it’s not going to work overnight. The point I was trying to make was harm reduction. Biden is certainly not my choice, but the cabinet he has is quite good. The down ballot has races with actual progressives that I do support.

      By not voting in this election, you’re choosing to be okay with the result. And if the result is Trump? I fear that it’ll take decades to recover, if we ever do. It didn’t work out for Germany, but who is going to successfully invade us? Not with Europe dangerously flirting with Fascism certainly. It’s as if the sacrifices from 80 years ago are completely meaningless.

      Now, regarding mutual aid. There are two channels that I recommend that have videos on this.

      One day, probably not in my lifetime, I would like to see us achieve fully automated gay space communism. It’s a long road, but if enough people are discouraged into not voting because our corporate leadership can’t front the ideal candidate… It might be eve online? Or maybe we’ll be an irradiated wasteland.

      Personally I’m holding out for a meteor or when the sun starts fusing iron in 4.5 million years and swallows the earth. Talk about global warming!
