We can take turns being vigilant, as each of our mental health allows. Our billionaire overlords are incredibly powerful, but there's a shit ton more of the rest of us, than there are of them, even counting their many paid cronies. The billionaires are also the ones pushing the around the clock burn out news cycle, to wear us down. Take time for your mental health, and trust random folks like me to be vigilant while you rest. They want us to forget that we're in this together. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Nurse_Robot@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago Same.
