@tech_prole @aenea @scrappy_capy_distro this is widespread enough to count as a systemic issue. it cannot be the fault of individual activists. if everyone is too scared to do anything, if everyone sees themself as irreparably too depressed/scared/weak to fight the enemy, there must be a structural reason.

we have come to understand the predicament of the German scene as something akin to an abusive relationship, with EU citizen / first-world privilege as the abuser. the privilege causes both privilege guilt and a (imagined) dependency to privilege, in a reinforcing, paralysing loop, making people terrified of losing a lifestyle they hate.

in other words, the system coopts the people it abuses by making them feel invested then guilty, like a good scammer. and in the process the first-worlders tear themselves apart from us third-worlders.

so how do we go about solving that.

it is to answer that question (and by comparing and contrasting the German scene with Kurd, Polish/Belarusian, and Latinoamerican approaches to politics) that we wrote "How to do politics like a marginal in 11 easy steps"
