To name one: the dream of starting, much less organizing, a massive era-changing movement at the scale capable of nationwide impactful and lasting change without billionaire (et al) connections that stretch beyond funding alone… is a shit plan, but it’s got heart and it feels good.
So, sure, let’s get those flyers out. We’ll do this like Norman Rockwell would’ve, had he been cast as the propagandist art lead for the plebs-with-the-truth rebel fighters in Man In The High Castle. That went great for the V For Vendetta marks, amirite? Do we get masks, too? How else would we know what’s up without secret badges or members only jackets? What’s the move, btw? To bypass the whole “vilified by the media” stage of our heroic resistance — or, we just throwing out the entirety of Modern Uprising 101 core curriculum?
FWIW, the last section’s a bit whiny on the “aw, but I don’t want to be accurate and precise in my statements that require brevity and a familiarity with their content that affords me the ability to speak to fellow citizens of vastly differing backgrounds”. This is at the core of every single fucking conversation in life, FFS. You can choose to ignore it, or you can choose to leverage it, but whinging about the way people communicate in “anonymity” is wasting your time, and hope, really.
Argument? I’m agreeing with you. What do you think we’re even arguing about? And please don’t insinuate that I’m posting in bad faith just because you think I disagree with you.
That’s a shit argument, and I’m willing to bet you already know that
Which part is shit? The post you reply to is a bit longer and I am willing to bet you already know that.

Hey, such a good reply! Thank you.

No, you’re not. It’s telling that you think you are, though.
Yes, we are agreeing. It’s telling that you think we aren’t, though.
