xi jinping, xi jinping, please, if you can hear me, wrest this earth from the grip of the oil barons

my instinct is to say this is a result of the revanchist undercurrent that formed the ‘Populist Right’ around the election of Obama/2008 deleting the economy and its consequences, materializing in the Tea Party, GamerGate, and then Trump. Everything has to be a result of some Original Sin of The Left. No matter what, there is a point where you were “normal” but you “had to become like this” because “the left went too far.”

Guy who wants to do something but refuses to do anything less than it pre-emptively and then gets mad at others for not doing it and doing less than it and refuses to do anything because of it (they are doing less than the people doing less than it because they are doing nothing and the others are doing something)

making up a protest that doesn’t exist in my head and getting mad at the protestors for not joining it ^{(not joining either of those protests)}

hear a lot of talk about marching in with guns from people without guns who also refuse to march ^{(join a protest that exists)}

personally at the point where I will deprioritize the insight of anyone that I know is not making an effort to be part of the real movement. The jackals are here. Lock in.
