“I keep going to this same restaurant, so realistically all I’m ever going to eat is what they have on the menu”

Go organize. This isn’t the same as joining an angry parade. Talk to your local PSL. Standing outside the restaurant telling them to make better food won’t work since theirs is the only restaurant in town.

I’m not saying not to vote, but I’m also trying to get you to understand that getting stuck in the situation where you feel like voting is your only option doesn’t change the system at all- it changes yourself. Over time, it erodes your values until you are what you would’ve detested 20 years ago. One day, you’ll develop a liking for DDT pesticides because the alternative is nuclear waste.

You’re only forced to vote for the nazi because you would rather do that than organize for an alternative system. Voting for a Nazi is easy. Organizing and changing this system entirely isn’t.

I’m trying to change restaurants, but renouncing citizenship and leaving is easier said than done.

I'm not telling you to change restaurants. Other restaurants likely have the same issues you want to leave this one for. I'm telling you to be the restaurant. And just to be doubly clear, I'm not telling you to run for office. I don't want you to be an option for other people to pick from. I want you to work with an international community of chefs to build the best fuckin sandwich we've ever had.
