Democrats now have a majority in Congress, but we can’t forget that they’ve held it before, and our lives only got harder. All they want from us is a vote, then silence until the next election. in c/usa@lemmy.ml

I've been thinking about this, and how we're described in .world as a seething cauldron of toxicity and hate, makes me think about the parallels between this and how liberals in the past would describe a new socialist country, or an indigenous resistance before that. Just a combination of telephone game, projection/hermeneutics of suspicion, and crucially "I only encounter these people when I am fighting them but I assume that must be their vibe all the time."

    I worry about it too, how to help people and how to prepare. I hope that the American state's terminal belligerence can force enough of the rest of the world into cooperation against it to create the kind of framework we need to deal with the worst of climate collapse and maybe nurse our planet to better health. But yeah, with the bottomless depravity we know the empire is capable of, you'd be crazy not to be worried. It can be paralyzing when you try to take in the scale of the threat, and in these times I find refuge in trying to build with what few real life comrades I have.
