I don’t even know what to really say about it. Truth be told I was kind of numb when the first migrants where shipped off to CECOT and GITMO, which is bad on my part, maybe it was a coping mechanism idk. But this guy’s harrowing case, the case of all these migrants that did nothing wrong outside of crossing a stupid line in the sand for the hopes of finding a better life, has me despairing even harder than usual. I just keep thinking about this all day and I feel guilty that my stupid first world white ass is free and allowed to partake in the empire’s treats while these people are sent off to concentration camps, probably to die.
I know this should radicalize me even further and strengthen my resolve to be a better leftist but I just catch myself like slipping into nihilism that it’s all futile and the bad guys have won.
Yea to me this should be a tipping point to radicalize people. But, of course, I have yet to meet anyone from my normie side of life (aka non-political) that actually is radicalized. I’m not even sure they know about it.
Then I think of how many fucked up things happened in the last 25 years that should’ve radicalized me and didnt. I think it’s going to take alot more awareness to get people to the actual tipping point. And as fucked up as it is, Trump is doing a good job of accelerating us towards it. I think the establishment is conditioned to always normalize the fucked up shit the president does. Trump being mask off is putting cracks in the system.
This is just me rambling, but I think the only hope for a proletarian revolution is for Trump to be in power. The democrats in power could only lead to a fake revolution where it’s just chuds with no class conscious who think the greatest threat to society is wokeism.
