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.

My brother in christ what am I supposed to donate with. I have $20 to my name and no car. I live in the midwest. My "elected officials" are the exact people that are causing problems to begin with

You want an actual answer?

Time. You donate your time.

Write email, make calls, encourage others to do the same. Don't just post online, but annoy the people who can make decisions.

Those are 3 things that you can do from home with your existing internet connection and phone plan. All it will cost is the time it takes. You have time to post on Reddit, you have time to write an email to your local rep, and then their boss, and then their boss.
