How to stay resilient and effective for the next four years
------------------------------------------------------------------
It is tempting to look at every single news story and get outraged
but keep in mind that this is precisely their point. It is a
psychological operation orchestrated by the corporate media giants
and the MAGA regime to wear you out and scatter your energies.
Your outrage is not going to change a thing unless you carefully
direct it to impactful actions. Most people simply do not have
time, resources, money, connection, influence, and/or energy to do
this work alone.
Concrete, impactful actions, that are not always visible, are
superior to mere performative protests and street theaters that may
earn 15 minutes of fame but would quickly be forgotten.
Many organizations have been prepared for this day, and are far
better funded, equipped, trained, resourced, and connected to do
the work. It is more productive to support their efforts by
donating to them and/or being part of their actions. To
successfully fight off the MAGA once and for all, unity and
coordinated actions are a must.
