This is a very, very bad time to be railing about how people are not doing enough. How their vote isn’t enough. How speaking up isn’t enough. How nothing is going to fix anything unless we burn the world down and build it back up from the ashes.
That’s not realistic. It’s not feasible. It burns people out. People who fight in the tiny ways available to them. People who do their damnedest to keep other people around them uplifted and supported. It makes people shut down and stop paying attention because the guilt is overwhelming, your mental health starts crumbling, and you know that nothing you do is enough.
The fight to make things better has to happen on many levels, big and small, and constantly telling people that they are not doing enough is going to do us more harm than good.
Work together. Acknowledge even the small acts of fighting back and resistance. Stop making complicated issues black and white. And for the love of everyone on the planet, let go of the idea of achieving moral purity and work within the realities of the system we have now.
It starts small and we have a long way to go.
Please Remember
