i don’t live in america; it’s true that i’m not immediately affected by the results of this election. but far too many people in my life, online, etc are apathetic.
it’s baffling to me that people can be so uncaring, and so opposed to even learning or having a conversation about these things.
i’m tired but this isn’t the time to stop fighting. care and compassion are the most necessary things in the world right now

Saw a post on here that said willful ignorance is hot/in and I’d argue that it’s waaaay hotter to be aware of what’s going on in the world around us. ESPECIALLY during scary times like this.
There is a big difference between taking care of your emotions and being dangerously unaware!
By staying ignorant and avoiding the news you stay compliant, so while it’s hard, I instead urge you to remain active, read, learn, teach, and engage!!! whether it be digitally, with friends/family, locally, or globally -community is key 💕💕 💕

As a black woman it's a matter of self protection and protection from shame. I'm so baffled how little people understand the life and death scenarios that led to my and others decision to not have a fascist rapist in govt. I just had an abortion and I'm so privileged to have had one. do u think the women who died from not having access were thinking about these ideological gymnastics? No, this was a matter of life or death. I'm just So Baffled. I'm very educated as well and am so acutely aware of how fucked this system is. It's run by capitalism and a disregard for basic human rights to say the least. There are so many things wrong. But I had to think about a matter of saving lives instead of starting a nameless revolution made out of instagram infographics and quotes by white philosophers And mofos in beanies. Racism and mysogeny has impacted every fiber of my existence. and I dont want any cis white person with zero pressing LIFE OR DEATH ramifications to speak to me about it bc the majority do not care and are saying straight to my face I do not have empathy for you. I have been far from
Perfect, have been very complacent and pessimistic about everything rlly, but I have compassion And the ability to look outside myself. And clearly so many ppl on the left do Not. Smh ...

in 2023, i would have def considered myself a dem/liberal. but since then, i've done a hard shift wayyy to the left because of all the ongoing issues in the world. but majority of my friends stayed liberal.
i tried to talk to them about palestine, they didn't seem to care. i try to talk to them about capitalism and it's affects on society, they don't care. and i know it's because all of it doesn't personally affect them, which drives me INSANE. everyone is stuck on identity politics (which i completely understand, and am not saying its not important), but it's been frustrating trying to get people to understand its a class issue. and there's been almost 0 support until trmp got into office and now everyone wants to talk "politics".
i honestly tried to cut out so many friends because the lack of empathy hurt me that deeply, BUT since then i've just come to realize that we truly are all just victims to capitalism :( it's not their fault they've been so individualized and complacent, but it is their fault to not stay educated. so i'm always open to discussing with friends, i've just had to find new friends with similar beliefs in order to keep my sanity.
in the end, being leftists, we just gotta focus on the community and helping those around us, even if they don't care or their beliefs dont line up with ours. that's the only way to get people to understand and empathize, so i started trying to implement that more into my life, as hard as it is sometimes.
