I’m guilty of doing this with my activism

thelastmemeera:

It’s become increasingly clear to me that the liberal concept of “resistance” is designed specifically to declaw any possible opposition to the will of the ruling class. You can tell by the way they use vague hyperboles all the time – insisting they’re going to “fight” or “resist” – when what they really mean is “politely ask our masters not to take our basic rights away.” Seriously, signing petitions accomplishes absolutely nothing except for making you feel like you’ve done something when you haven’t. If your march is sanctioned by the police, it’s not a protest, it’s a parade. Please, think about if for two seconds – what makes you believe the state will respond to what essentially amounts to begging without you giving them any real incentive to actually listen? If you claim want things to change, but you’re opposed to anyone actually doing anything to make that happen, it’s about time you question where your true loyalties lie.
