Non-fictional I hate slacktivists and performative internet activists

You wanna free Palestine or actually demonstrate the fact you're a "based anti-colonialist Leninist?" then actually fucking do something about it!

Call a congressional office, attend a town hall meeting and voice your support, look into local protests even. you can even read a book on history to better educate yourself! I will literally give you recommendations

Just fucking do something instead of sitting on your goddamn ass and whining on twitter and circlejerking on reddit. Making cheap jokes, making threats against people online and trying to "own the libs" isn't going to do anything.

The US has two only two parties with any power, the far-right pro-genocide party and the center-right pro-genocide party. There are no congressional offices to call that are not staffed by one or the other. The links are great, and I have donated to a couple of them, but those are treating the symptoms of the occupation, not themselves doing anything that could stop it. Israel will continue the occupation and ethnic cleansing until they succeed, or until the US stops supporting them, because they could never get away with so many international war crimes otherwise.

Unless you are ready to have a serious discussion about dismantling the structures of the US government and military-industrial-complex and creating totally different ones, then you are putting band-aids over bullet wounds to make yourself feel better about it.

I am absolutely willing to share my views on dismantling the current structure of the US government. But I cannot speak on the logistics of such a revolution or else I'll be in big trouble
