Antiwork

This sub reminds me of T_D before 2016

It's not just folk on the right who are susceptible to propaganda and indoctrination. Everybody here is rightfully angry. You have a lot to be angry about, but there are many forces out there who would like to use your anger for their benefit. This sub is chock full of the same both-sides-ism that put Trump in the Whitehouse. It's chock full of the same violent rhetoric that put the insurrectionists in the capital on Jan 6th.

Educate (Talk to conservatives). Use Civil Disobedience. Strike. Most importantly…VOTE FOR PROGRESSIVES.…

If you really want to see change in the world, it's important to use tools which have been historically successful: Organize (unions). Agitate (Protest). Educate (Talk to conservatives). Use Civil Disobedience. Strike. Most importantly…VOTE FOR PROGRESSIVES. Be very suspicious of anyone telling you to either disengage from the political conversation or that revolution is the only option.
