you are right, of course, and normally i do try to be more encouraging and positive, especially to people who are unfamiliar with life beyond capitalism. but i am exhausted. i see the average American has no interest in personal sacrifice for the greater good, and more significantly, they have no support to even retaliate if they wanted to. they are beaten down with debt and the necessity to work to live. i am desperate to do more but the little i am already doing in my community is nowhere near what i should be doing on a larger scale. how do i find people who are doing something? because they aren’t the peaceful groups i know in my area of the country.
yes, i was. my city had a pretty decent demonstration. however, most of the people attending were easily identifiable as liberals. they are not my people although allies are necessary. the closest SRA chapter is 3 hours away.
