Thank you.
Thank you.
I’m not lecturing, I’m asking for help on how to approach this. This is closer to frustrated bitching than lecturing.
Most of the folks I talk to hear agree with me that things are going wrong, or that x,y, or z is a problem, but not enough to do anything about it. I have heard a few times that, " I want to do something, but I have to protect myself."
I used that term to show that they are privileged folks who likely won’t be directly targeted by the administration, at least at first.
To my knowledge, proteins can start to denature at 104F, depending on the protein and other factors like pH. Around 106F, proteins in the brain will start to denature, regardless of other factors.
Also, at a high enough level (104 F), the proteins in your brain start to denature, which leads to death.
Wait until you learn about the Honored Matres.
One of her symbols is an 8-pointed star. I like to wear one as a necklace as a low key way to display my pride and still be safe.
I’m not being dismissive of their view, I understand the need for self-preservation. I think the crux of it is how do I get folks who agree things are going wrong to move from that space into one of more action? Almost everyone I’m talking to at work agrees with me, but no one is interested in organizing or preparing, and that’s what baffles me most.
I don’t know myself - I don’t have some grand plan or idea. Im a regular person (albeit one with a better historical understanding of history due to education). I’m just scared about what’s coming next, and I’m completely isolated at the end of the day. Rather than buy a bunch of guns and ammo, I would prefer to connect with folks to build mutual support, or to prepare to strike/protest/boycott (or whatever seems most effective at the time).
