Folks, politely:
I have spent ten fucking years warning everyone who would listen that bipartisan fascism on a boiling planet was coming because not only could this story not end any other way if we're going to keep doing capitalism while billions die, but all the evidence at every step of the way said it WAS HAPPENING the whole time. I am on so many police state and fascist kill lists I'm already dead
My trans ass won't live long enough to start the revolution FOR YOU hets; you're on your own

So no I'm not gonna organize with you, no I'm not gonna join your signal chat (in fact I don't really like being around privileged ppl who assume they're not being watched because you say some really dangerous shit in those situations) and I am, quite frankly, fucking exhausted.
I can't even write now. I never signed up to be a leader, or an organizer, or your fucking Sherpa guide for revolution. I told you what was real and what wasn't. Nobody listened. I spent my powder, all of it. I'm tired.

@AnarchoNinaWrites It's not just Republicans working at the tech companies that are putting machine guns on the robot dogs as fast as they can.

Maybe this will get better in time. Maybe I'll get angry enough that it won't matter how hurt and broken I am. Maybe some of why I feel like I'm being crushed on a heavy rock to the point I can't breathe let alone move has to do with the fact that my stepdad is dying of cancer and my extremely poor mother is about to go under unless I can keep stacking money to delay the inevitable but I can't because I'm so busted up and out of juice.
I dunno
But right now? I'm just waiting to die. Tapped out

I do not believe in the "better angels of our nature."
Certainly not here in the Pig Empire; I think these crackers are going to toss a LOT of people to the wolves long before they even consider fighting back against fascists.
I dunno what else to say; if you believe differently, and you're pretty sure you can fight - be my guest. I'm pretty sure that every lib is a would be snitch, and most white people are fascists and I'm out of energy to convince them they'll die too.
I can't lie to me.
AnarchoNinaWrites
I've got a wall full of books about how to fight fascists. A literally entire wall full of them and I've read them all.
What I don't have a book for, or a strategy for, is what happens when I explain that they're fasicsts, I predict precisely what they're going to do, I demonstrate completely that they're coming for us all on a boiling planet with billions of lives in the balance and almost everyone around me shrugs.
I didn't figure out the answer to THAT problem. And now I'm tired and hurt.
AnarchoNinaWrites
I do recommend you organize if you can, I do recommend you fight them if you can; but I have been telling folks with security and privilege that for a fucking decade and it didn't happen - even when I demonstrated it'd be them on the chopping block eventually.
Now, we're literally in "the killing time" and I'm supposed to tell people on murder lists "yeah go out in public and organize against fascists; don't worry, these "Very Serious People" who brought to ruin will join up and protect you?"
AnarchoNinaWrites
I don't fucking BELIEVE that. I think if you're on the firing line right now, your life is in VERY REAL danger.
If cis crackers who aren't on kill lists yet want folks like me to join them in "resisting fascism" they are GOING to have to do some "resisting fascism" first, for once, ever. And I just don't see it.
So no, I'm not gonna advise people who are marginalized and DO take my advice, to walk roll out in the open to "fight fascism" alone when I might be sending them to a grave.
I refuse.

@AnarchoNinaWrites I wouldn't dream of inviting you to any secure messaging platform of any kind, no matter how much I think you're great and I'm right there agreeing with you. A) You're literally thousands of miles away from me B) resistance needs to be local, cellular, and mostly autonomous, and C) I don't know you personally.
To anyone else who might be in some Signal chat with more than about 6 people, or ANY you don't personally know. Get the fuck out NOW. You're already being watched.
AnarchoNinaWrites
@lerxst I mean we're talking about a country that "put a guy" in every socialist reading group larger than 5 people during COINTELPRO before the internet was even invented and never stopped.
How anyone can, after the Snowden revelations, tell me online communications are secure is beyond me.
And again, there is nothing more dangerous than folks who have NOT experienced the weight of a police state, who THINK they're not being watched. I got people asking how to do crimes in my DISCORD ffs.
