i.e. "go organize" "do direct action"

like to me it very much betrays the fact that no one in the conversation has any idea What Is To Be Done at all. It feels like the Online Marxist version of "It's not my job to educate you." I genuinely think treating these words as shibboleths is extremely disorganizing if someone is signalling "I feel impotent here and I am horrified and want to help, how do I help in a way that matters."

imo abstraction in general is a spectre haunting the American Left (i.e. demonstrating for demonstrations sake being diffusive). that and defaulting to "go do Propaganda of the Deed." in my bones I feel that most of the time there is a specific action one can arrive at in which the premise is neither vibes nor killing someone that would materially address a specific issue.
