      They are not mutually exclusive, you can face it, then realize there isn’t much you can do (I’m not American) then you see some moths.

          what gave you that idea?

          The current state of western democracy?

          In my personal opinion, one of the most effective things you can do is collective bargaining. And on that note, imo not enough people have been convinced that somethings got to change. You have to have that consensus before real change.

              so…what, then? roll over and “ohwellnothingicando” and call it a day?

              I never said that, but imo you shouldn’t feel bad for lack of action or inability to change things. You should do what you can, but if you need to look at some moths enjoying some lamps, that’s totally fair.

              Our struggles are like a marathon, not a 100 meter dash, you got to find joy when you can.

                  People really be arguing in favor of bread and circuses without understanding it is the very thing that is keeping them from engaging in political action for change.

            Western neoliberal democracy isn’t the only option and, depending on perspective, was part of the problem by systemically enabling the rise of fascism.
