Just need to vent, I swear to god the revolutionary potential in America is just not there. So many people just have zero ideological conviction and because we're not subject to the worst of the empire's violence many feel no constant need to fight it, an encampment can end and so many people just go to brunch. The constant need to fight against the empire's propaganda, infiltrated orgs, and most of all the powerful combination of privilege and individualism is so incredibly exhausting. All that feels good to do is sit home, read theory and talk with my closest comrades, I can't be led into another unprepared police raid by people who had just collaborated with the kops, or in an org led ultimately by some undemocratically elected leader, or talk to another "ML" or anarchist white boy that can't even admit racism and imperialism still fuckin exists.

I'm not even going to go that deep. I'm not American so after moving here, Americans are way harder to reach than I thought. Just the general complete arrogance, overconfidence, American exceptionalism/chauvinism that didn't exist nearly as much even in other Anglo countries I've lived in

Also people are so proud about being un-empathetic here lol. Like literally everybody is like "yea New Yorkers are just so nonchalant and chill that they'll ignore somebody bleeding out or having a psychotic episode on the subway". Like it's literally cool to completely ignore human suffering/crises happening in a public crowded place because caring about others is literally cringe, especially on public transit for whatever reason

It's insanity, like men who can't make cereal think they're shepards leading sheep because they're so daring as to believe american propaganda and there's literally millions of people to tell them they're correct
