Relevant to the question of why more people aren't organizing in response to everything that's going on.

I relate to this personally. We constantly tell ourselves to focus on what we can control, and that's what I do. I try to organize with my local orgs, push people I meet left, talk unions at restaurants and businesses all over, and avoid spending $ at BDS companies. But I also have family and a stable job that I actually like for the first time in forever. I feel like I don't do enough but also the risk of doing more is so great I understand why I keep to "safe" things.

IDK how France does it. How did the Bolsheviks pull it off? I know the Chinese peasantry were under much worse conditions than burgerlanders. Are people like me essentially "paid off" by the material conditions 🤔
