Sorry to hear the defeatism. Organized action can well change this. There are too many of us, and not enough of them. Even with the buy-out of those of us willing to be sold.

It’s not about “us” outnumbering “them.”

It’s about structures absorbing us before we notice.

That’s not defeatism — just the part no one wants to face.

No mercy for easy thinking. Do-gooders intoxicate eachother with prejudice.

But we do notice. What we do next defines our generation. That's all.

That's not good enough

You call this opinion defeatist because it doesn’t sell comfort.

There are no final victories — or final defeats.

Just in structures, incentives, and consequences that don’t care how we feel about them.

That isn’t defeatism.

It’s refusing to lie to ourselves.

If not ... What? When a movement teaches a machine to speak for it, its message stops being an exploration and becomes a catechism.
