I've worked 13 hours straight and had to organize a push to get us fed dinner.
There's a good chance I'm stuck here for 2 more hours, meaning I get 0 time to do anything except sleep and do this again.
I want to quit so badly, but I'm basically forced to be here because this job market is such shit that it took a year to get this job. And I consider myself lucky to have this.
There's a thread on lemmygrad from someone that's also exhausted around the discourse about the American "left". Yes we suck, yes we are privileged compared to a lot of people, yes our organizing is tame and not effective, yes my material conditions mean I'm not doing adventurism and neither are my comrades.
BUT don't claim we're not trying. I know people working two jobs. I technically have 2 jobs and am maybe able to get back on my feet financially in a few months. We still do what we can and it's not enough but we're not at that point. Yeah that's privileged if you call being scared shitless of being homeless and being abused by literally every other human here...
I'm tired
There's a lot more than that going on. Part of the reason you don't hear about it is the small scale, and mainstream media ain't gonna tell you what local left groups are doing.
And I can't talk about it for op sec reasons.
Then don’t make this post at all? Why have all these reasons and excuses for not doing action if you actually are doing action?
I can't just rant? I'm not oppressed enough to complain about my life because according to you people I am king of the world. SO privileged over here running off 4 hours of sleep lol
