What is it you wanted me to reconcile myself to? I was born here almost 60 years ago, I'm not gonna live another 60 years. You always told me it takes time. It's taken my father's time, my mother's time. My uncle's time. My brother's and my sister's time. My nieces' and my nephews' time. How much time do you want? For your progress.

James Baldwin, 1989

I'm not advocating for violence, but OP sure is, look at their post history. I want to know what violence they intend to enact change through.

You're asking if it's better to do nothing (give up on incremental liberalization, aka don't vote dem, and also don't burn down a warehouse right now) and instead do what, sit online and plan, maybe in 5 years burn down a warehouse together? I been on lemmy for like 3 years now with this constant chatter. What have yall done after three years of planning and gathering together? Give me examples. I'm open to it.
