  Well I actually have autism, I live in an apartment with my older sibling Jeb (who puts rules like “DON’T go outside without their permission”) - I’ve gotten used to that. What I’m looking for is stuff like slacktivism or some alternative to such.

    i have AuADHD too, don’t know how old you are but living on your own is part of life…you don’t have to let the routines/rules dominate your life, you can set/change your owns.

    slacktivism just…doesnt really work. if your seroous about learning/practicing/spreading socialism, your best bet would probably be looking up if your local area has a DSA branch. seeing how organized they are and what help they may need.

      I’m 21 years old. What about online?

        what about it? as nice as talking to people online is, it is no replacement for irl interaction. especially when it comes to social/government reform…the establishment powers benefiting from the status quo want you stuck online in echo chambers feeling powerless to enact change in the real world.
