It's a lot of energy to invest in a discourse that is being oppositionally refereed. Under better circumstances I'd say it was laudable, and on Lemmy the effort is certainly less wasted, but I'm starting to wonder if maybe the better part of our energies are better spent on in-person political efforts.

I agree - I struggle a lot with my health, but there has to be something I can do in-person. Our direction needs to change as a society.
