There's no organizing potential in the USA at all. Everyone only thinks social democrats are the most radical option. Reddit third-worldists call me evil for being born here. I'm scum for being born in this country. I know it at this point, I'm evil for benefitting from imperialism, we're all labor aristocrats, so why bother? I don't even feel the strength to get out of bed anymore. I just want to lay here until I die or until I get evicted and die on the streets. I'm to scared to kill myself, so may as well. I'm just so tired of everything, of seeing the rights of my closest friends being peeled away and there being no viable way to stop it because, again, everyone here only thinks voting is the way out.

I'm in the US as well. Even if its tiny, the small push-backs you make towards platner, even if the average american lib never understands what it means to be anti-imperialist, chips away at the hegemony of ideology bit by bit. You already have moronic reddit libs who aren't nearly as sinophobic as they once were just 5 years ago. People sucked off Elon musk not long ago too. Even if there is an absolute limit to where the American left/liberals can reach, agitating is still better than not, being alive doing as much as you can (don't get tripped up on the idea that since you are in the imperial core its all or nothing) still chips away at the hegemony of political thought. Remember you probably landed in this space because of things you read that sounded ridiculous at the time now resonate with you. Keep doing what you know is true.
