   Trying to explain to a friend that they are not more "realistic" about the state of the world just because they have given up and I have not.

   They believe we've been beaten. Forever. As if the image of a boot stomping on a human face forever from 1984 was intended to be a statement of fact & not propaganda.

   What if you didn't give up hope just because they tell you to?

     I think one of the sort of existential issues that can happen to right-wing libertarians is that since they never think about cooperative group solutions to problems they just fucking give up when they start actually taking stock of the powers-that-be who wish to own the world.

     Because there is absolutely goddamn nothing you can do all by yourself. There is no escape.

     But they're fucking wrong: we can save ourselves. It just needs to be us together.
