Okay, hear me out, here’s the plan…
We go full apathy, basically we let capitalism fully spiral out into fascism. Once it’s done, people will rise up and the system will collapse under its own weight. From its ashes, with our help, a better society will rise. This is how we win.

[green, smiling] OK?
[blue, pissed] Dude…

      That too. Making things worse doesn’t help the revolution. Making things better helps it. Now that Trump’s in charge, it’s only gotten harder to use direct action and civil disobedience.
