I just don’t understand this desire to not put up any fight at all. It seems counter intuitive to survival.

Bitter and deep spite and resentment. Disgust. Self destructive stubborn catharsis in ruining people who you hate even if it destroys you as well.

Just as the campists who actively live in "amerikkka" as I do for US citizen non-voters now.

I've voted in primaries for better candidates for the Dems since I could vote, for more progressive people so we have good representation. As much as I hate establishment Dems I'm not going to stop trying if for it. I'm disenfranchised by them more often than not and that makes me angry to want to do something, not be spiteful.

I'll probably still vote for dems for logical self preservation and personal gain if you must know. IDK. We'll see. My sense of self preservation is in a fight with my resentment and its basically a stalemate.

I see those stupid fucking "earth destroying comet for president" bumper stickers and think "Yeah sure that'd be unironically good." now instead of just rolling my eyes.

I've grown up just being resentful or rolling over and seen how little it helps, how much it hurts you overtime. I have had to fight to just survive, being a little bit off or weird in a highly conservative society is often a social death sentence if not a physical one. I refuse to ever be a helpless victim again, and I'll find others who refuse that as well.
