I’m losing my will to fight. You’re losing your will to fight. In the last few weeks, you’ve been nothing but despair. I am trying to hold it together so I can keep up the fight. But it’s been getting harder. All the levity has been lost. I guess I got more levity from you than I realized. I don’t know how I became so dependent on you. Isolation has become the norm for us, I guess. But right now, all I know is that I can’t do this without you. You’ve gotta stay strong, and stay light. So that I can stay strong, and stay light.
Yes, you. The faceless mass.
Reading the news and posting angry messages on social media isn’t fighting. If you’re doing something beyond that, good for you - but the vast majority of so-called “activists” aren’t. They’re just venting anger and spreading it to others while achieving nothing worthwhile.
If my goal were to “change the world,” I’d probably live in despair too. But it’s not. Instead, I run a small local business where I help people with their everyday technical challenges. I get to make a tangible difference in people’s lives and see their gratitude firsthand. Life has never felt more meaningful.
Well said!
You are changing the world, your little corner of it.
That’s how it’s done.
This kind of “activist” is best termed a “slacktivist”.
And they make up the majority of Lemmy! lmao
