Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>(1/?) The common answer to "Why aren't more people in the US protesting?" is that everyone is tired. I can relate to this. After being radicalized by <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/OccupyWallStreet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OccupyWallStreet</span></a>, fighting the first <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> administration, and then attempting to survive the on-going <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/covid19" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>covid19</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a>, I am exhausted. I want to dig deeper into this exhaustion, though, because so often, the rejoiner I hear to "People in the US are tired" is very dismissive and unhelpful. The response usually berates these hoards of tired people for being tired and expects some combination of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/shame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>shame</span></a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/guilt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>guilt</span></a> and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/horror" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>horror</span></a> at the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a> taking place under Trump and <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> to rouse them. It's an understandable but ineffective response, and if we want to be effective at building a better world and opposing <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fascism</span></a>, we're going to have to take a different approach. </p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Fascist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascist</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AnotherWorldIsPossible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnotherWorldIsPossible</span></a></p>
Rat Can't Read (she/her)<p>Seeing the protests against <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a>'s takeover of various government agencies, from <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USAID</span></a> to <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/DeptOfTreasury" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DeptOfTreasury</span></a>, is encouraging. Seeing the <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/50501Movement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>50501Movement</span></a> protests is also encouraging. Hearing a few <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/DemocraticParty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DemocraticParty</span></a> senators commit to slowing and even halting the legislature until this <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/DOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DOGE</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/coup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coup</span></a> is stopped is a step in the right direction. </p><p>But I'm still seeing a lot of people asking why more people in the US aren't rising up en masse. Why aren't people flooding the streets and shutting down cities? Why did it take this long for even the trickle of a movement to coalesce? </p><p>I have thoughts on this, based on my previous experience with <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>activism</span></a> that I'd like to share, with the goal of suggesting how people in the US can build movements that are more sustainable and that care for each other rather than repeating the disposability mindset of <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalism</span></a>.</p><p>A <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/thread" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thread</span></a>:</p><p><a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPolitics</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Activism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Activism</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/MovementBuilding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MovementBuilding</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/AnotherWorldIsPossible" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AnotherWorldIsPossible</span></a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/Socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Socialism</span></a></p>
