Yeah I get it, everything fucking sucks and sometimes we get a win. I’ve been here for 30 minutes tops and I can’t remember half of the headlines I’ve read, can you? There’s like no engagement on any of the posts here and there’s probably a dozen aggregators that post the same shit you’re looking at.
Shit that was written to nickel and dime you somehow, or lower down the food chain in an academic format for people actually paid to solve problems.
Leave the articles to the climate scientists and policy makers: This instance needs a place for people who get shit done, people who wanna change themselves and their immediate communities. We don’t have enough of that, anywhere.
The term for what you’re looking for is “organizing,” which is much harder and involved than “activism” (as defined when contasted to each other). It’s also much more durable, and packs a hell of a punch.
I walked away from an Occupy rally once when all I could get from anyone, as to what the plan of action was, “TAKE IT TO THE STREETS.”
Exhausting.
