I’ve been reading this sub passionately for over a year now and I’m always encouraged by the comments calling for revolution, protests, rebellion, etc. There are many historical examples of this being an effective tool against oppression. I, like many of you, was comfortable financially for many years until the last year or two, and it just keeps getting worse. I wake up daily anxious, for myself and for all of you, and it’s exhausting. Why don’t we do this? What’s stopping us? I know many of the answers are something along the lines of “we’re all too tired from working” or “we’re too divided”. Of course it’s going to be difficult. Of course we will have to make sacrifices in order to do it. But isn’t that worth it? I would genuinely like to talk this through, instead of shutting down the conversation with cants and wonts.
