Don't overextend yourself, concentrate on things that you actually can have impact on, and maybe even among them pick most important issue to you and act on it.
ICE turning into gestapo is immediate issue that we can do something about.
Greenland for example, what can we do about it? I personally think he is using Iceland as a distraction from Epstein (of course Denmark and rest of Europe should take this seriously).
After he removed Maduro noticed that they threw names of several countries, Iceland produced highest outrage, so they went with it.
I am actually thinking that the main goal is turning US into dictatorship, but to keep power they need an army inside of the country (gestapo). ICE is being used for that. But to keep them loyal he needs money. The problem is that traditionally Congress controls money and can cut it. This is where tariffs and Venezuela comes from. Notice that this revenue is outside if control of the Congress.
Epstein might have been a distraction from this, but actually was hurting him. He was struggling to change narrative, and finally with Greenland everyone stopped talking about it.
I agree, don't bother. Not really much we can do. It's not like we can do what the right wing did with covid. Or what they did with the border wall. Or what they did with podcast. Or what they did with comedy. Or what they did with left wing voice. Or what they did with Venezuela, twice. We can't do any thing. Don't over do it delete most of your accounts online. Or at least don't ever comment on anything or create any content. Just draw everything you want to say on a piece of cardboard and go stand on 24th and Bloomington with it and then thar will change minds
Ok, let me clarify it better
I'm saying if you didn't conserve yourself you will end up with psychiatric ward. Find one or two issues where you can have an impact and concentrate on them. There are more people so someone else will concentrate on others.
I never said to ignore everything.
Yea i saw the same about elections too. I try to tell people I'm with that if you pay attention to current events it's just icky. Life is much better even you don't bother to stay present and aware or bother voting. Let every one else worry about democratic participation. Someone else will do it. Worry about yourself. Self care is important
