Individualism—especially the desperate, toxic individualism of American culture—is isolation and struggle. It is poverty and vast wealth inequality. It is a life siloed and scraping. A lonely death.

As the systems fail us one by one, collectivism is our only hope for survival.

Reminder that I don't argue with fascists here, I block them.

I also block people who whine that I won't listen to the fascists.

Who gets to determine when someone is acting like a fascist and/or fascist book licker? Why, I do.

If you don't like it, try not being a fascist and/or a boot licker.

And people like to pretend that we can create systemic change without directly disrupting current systems, but we absolutely cannot. These systems have to be torn down, and how we care for each other will show what we can build in their place.

Several people popped into this thread to chastise me for using the word "fuck" so many times in one post, and I was all, "oh, honey, that's my actual brand" in my brain before I blocked them so they never have to see my filthy filthy posts on Bluesky ever again
A quick post-cruise refresher from me before I do any serious delving into any particular current events:

Fuck fascists
Fuck -phobes
Fuck wealthy sociopaths
Fuck immigrant-haters
Fuck sexists
Fuck anyone who wants to invade Canada and/or Mexico
Fuck vaccine deniers
Fuck this administration
Etc, etc
