i am the first person to say "don't give up", or "never lose hope", but it still needs to be said that class conflict is not child's play, the ruling class and their PR are far more powerful and intricate than we can imagine, we have to be both relentless AND smart
they have access to trillions of funding, while we have crumbs. they can convert the working class to their ideology, and there is not a lot we can do about it, at least it is not easy at all.
while it is true that in the long run, truth and moral principles prevail, it is foolish to think that we'll be able to just wait and "other ppl" will figure stuff out. justice needs to be taken, fought for, suffered for. don't be a passive observer, YOU need to be a part of this
i'm not saying it is impossible, NOTHING is impossible, but just remind yourself to constantly adapt your expectations, constantly improving and learning, and most importantly, taking action. there are many examples of justice winning. think like a pessimist, act like an optimist

fascism is NOT beaten, the US is only taking a short-term painkiller with a bad taste.
as trump is losing this election, it is important to understand the seeds of fascism, which is neoliberalism. THREAD
it's not wrong to be happy about the defeat of a right-wing maniac, but don't be fooled, the dangers of nationalistic fascism are not over. more importantly, we are seeing a new type of fascism, a "globalized" fascism, which is less overt, more dishonest, adaptive & resilient
the power elites have predominantly coalesced around biden, and for good reasons. first of all, trump was a threat to the free flow of capital: the main concern of capitalists today is that their exploitation is unhindered by protectionist measures.
