Hey folks, long time poster/commenter. I haven't been a good leftist in a while. I had some pretty severe mental health problems I needed to focus on, and getting my career on track. I've forgotten a lot of theory, and fuck if it doesn't look bleak as hell out there. I can't see any way out except third world maoism, and that's a longshot. But past that life just felt more fun when I wasn't constantly thinking about politics. I think some of that was because my leftism was mostly online. I did what i could in person but had limited options. But to be honest what can I do other than mutual aid? Americans are too stupid to ever see past capitalism, there's no local governance I can affect, and anything else is just adventurism. Please pull me back, I know too much to even pretend to be liberal or conservative.

Are you a vegan yet? If so:

spoilerhell yeah, friend congratulations, but unironically

If not:

It's likely the most impactful thing you can do to affect the animal agriculture industry and the biosphere without seriously risky direct action, and beyond that, not enslaving and exploiting animals is among the bare minimum standards of conduct for living a fair and decent life on planet earth.

and if you're fat like me; it's almost guaranteed weight loss and it is guaranteed hypertension & hyperlipidemia reducer.

i wonder if branding like this could work considering that 75% of americans are fat and 1/3 of us are obese... so far
