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.

if we all kill ourselves then what will be the point of the movement? nowadays, the CIA and other anti communist organizations know they dont need to go full mass surveillance or go after every single one of us because they know that people self censor due to fear of humiliation and death.

second off, youre not evil for anything. theres this stupid thing americans do to each other where they insist they are worse than hitler over drinking a pepsi. this is useless. i think that you have to create your own sense of reality here and affirm it. if a frustrated third worlder says that all americans have to die you dont take that as an invitation to kill yourself. you realize that 1. they dont mean it literally 2. they are verbalizing their own frustrations 3. socialists exist in every part of the imperial core, youre not evil for being born there.

100% this. With thoughts, words, and deeds, often moment by moment, until you get the hang of it. And those old patterns are ingrained, and will try to drag you back into it. So daily check-ins, reframing thoughts, correcting self-talk is a must, if not more often.
