- Comment on How do you build and cultivate revolutionary optimism, given what's happening in the US? 3 days ago:
Anarchist praxis and using the levers in the current system to better ends are not mutually exclusive. The line is understanding that the state itself is largely not built or operated in the in the interest of the common people.
We can hold our noses and vote, and show up to local councils, and not put all our eggs in one government/corporate-appointed basket by building mutual aid and having each other’s backs.
If politicians are actually throwing some action behind slowing down the mess they’re complicit in, that’s great! In the meantime, there’s a video on here showing the BPP protecting people in Philadelphia as a solid example of good anarchist(adjacent) organization and action.
One-or-the-otherism leads to nothing getting done. And hope is definitely an important part of resistance. We’re all in this together, for better or worse so we should fight side by side.
TL;DR: anarchists are on your side, no need to frame us otherwise. /gen

Jewish kids get a bar/bat mitzvah, Italian-(American) kids learn and make their own sauce.
And each person has their own unique take on it, so no two people’s sauces are quite alike. Finding out who was cooking dinner at a gathering was fun that way.

Point no. 2 is why I couldn’t get through Witcher 1. There’s only so many times I can fight 3-5 sewer monsters to get enough XP to not die in chapter…4? 5?

Same. I was able to get like 10 long-wishlisted games for ~$100 with the Steam Winter Sale, too. Nintendo would never.

Stardew Valley (and its many farm sim clones), Slime Rancher, Balatro, and Chicory: A Colorful Tale are just a few off top of my head. I can delve into my games libraries and list a bunch more lol

Join us in the world of cozy/puzzle games, where quick time events can go to die and you don’t have to treat a game like a full time job to be good at it 😄

I feel that. Most of my twenties were spent kinda flailing without much plan since I wasn’t expecting to still be alive.
Cheers to still kicking 🥂

Decompressing so you don’t burn out is getting something done, even if it doesn’t feel like it.

If it’s an alt-ish music scene, there might be some small shows you can attend locally. Even if it’s only for a bit, you’d get to share a space with other community members in the area.
If it’s an art-based scene (like furries, anime fans, etc) there might be a smaller convention or a game shop that hosts tabletop events since there can be overlap.
There may also be online communities, as a physically easier entry point.
Hope you’re able to find some small reprieve/joy in the meantime. /gen

Sounds like punk, goth, metal, or furries. /pos
It’s completely normal to have sentimental attachments to positive influences in your life! Those people were/are your friends, however long they lasted.
I’m sure that scene would also welcome you again, should you decide to revisit it more directly.

I mean, I had (prescribed) adderall for a few months that had me borderline tweaky at my given dosage, but I still remained decidedly not right wing/fascist.
